I dunno, Camron - if he does, it's about the same level of "throwing" of the body that occurs in play #3 IMO

Not at all. I think the guy in #3 just stopped and stood up. The screener in #1 drove his shoulder into the defender. The screen in #1 was bad for 2-3 reasons. That is just one of them but puts the icing on the cake.

The guy didn't "just stand up". His chest area "clearly" moves into the defender.

And by "clearly" I mean about as "clearly" as the alleged shoulder in play #1.

In neither play is the alleged movement really obvious. That's why I think they're both 50/50 types of plays.

In the end, both plays #1 and #3 are going to be passed on and called - in both cases I'm willing to bet peoples' opinions are going to be split.

After further review and copius notes, #1 illegal, #3 maybe not so, but I'm sure game situation, I'd probably call it.

I would not have an illegal screen on any of those three screens.

Why not?

I thought the illegality of each one was marginal. Mostly I saw feet too wide, but it wasn't egregious in my opinion.

Also I felt the players were pretty well rehearsed in faking the amount of actual contact. This is pretty evident by the first screen, if you watch the offense on that play, he throws his body back like he got clobbered by the defense and he even hits the ground.
