Bean bag
Hi Guys, do you really think, that dropping a bean bag is the correct mechanic if the QB is approaching the neutral zone.
Consider this play.
1. and 10 from As 10. QB scrambles and approaches the neutral zone, when he throws a forward pass, that is caught at As 20 and advanced for an apparent TD.
The umpire had dropped his bean bag and followed the play. After the score he runs back and sees his bean bag is laying beyond the neutral zone. Now he throws his flag for an illegal pass, while the offense is in position for the try.
Isnt it better to throw the flag and if it is found behind the neutral zone, it can be waived by the Referee with explanation, that the passer did not cross the neutral zone.
