And JRutledge, Gronkowski clearly was changing direction towards the ball until he was shoved and dragged through the end zone.
If you think that is clear, then when you make that call I hope you can justify it better than what the supervisors or the video tape training has shown. I can tell you if I make that call for the reason you suggest, I probably will not be working very long at that level. You can take that for what it is worth.

Peace
