As a general rule, I was taught to bean bag fumbles, muffs and where punt's are caught. Some people do interceptions and backward passes, but I don't know that I understand the value.

REPLY: Up until this season, there was no reason in Federation to bag the spot where a punt was caught unless it was inside B's 5 yardline and momentum was being ruled. Same for interceptions. This season, we'll need to bag the spot that punts are caught because of the potential for a PSK enforcement foul by B. However, I still contend that you absolutely must bag backward passes from beyond the neutral zone. Now, if it's a quick pass and possession is regained immediately, you can probably get away with leaving the bag tucked in your knickers, but if the pass falls loose, I would bag the spot of the pass immediately.

Interceptions do not need to be bagged because it is a loose ball play and the spot of enforcement is the previous spot.
For some reason backward passes I think you do not need a bean bag but Bob M. makes a good argument for it. On a backward pass player possession is lost even if momentarily. The enforcement spot during a loose ball would be the spot where the run ends.
