I brought up crossing the NZ in the air because last season in our first game my new umpire had not mastered covering the zone when a blocked kick went up into the air near the zone and was caught by the kicker who was close to the zone but behind it (if he wasn't...he was). Then he took off running pass the zone only to see a wide open teammate downfield. Therefore, he launched a pass, illegal though it was, that was completed.
Oh yeah, it was fourth down.
Then the K coach thought R had gained possession which would have allowed him to keep the ball. And, he could not understand why he was penalized five yards and then the other team got the ball. (Illegal pass, five yards from the end of the run and loss of down).
To think all this happened in less than 10 seconds.
