Putting aside what happened during the game in Baltimore, this is an interesting issue about the rules (and as a hope-to-be new ref next year, I'm trying to learn all I can).
Instead of the aquarium analogy, how about a glass wall at the goal line analogy?
If the receiver is in legal possession anytime after the glass wall has been "shattered" then its a touchdown.
So.....
Receiver in endzone leaning back to the one yard line to catch (and ball never crosses), no TD because glass wall not shattered.
Receiver in endzone leaning out-of-bounds to catch, TD because glass wall has been shattered and receiver in bounds regardless of the fact that the ball is not in bounds.
Is that right?
