Ed Hickland Originally posted by Theisey Originally posted by Mike Simonds Are we looking at the same picture, pg 63, 7-5-10a in the 2002 S&I manual? That depicts DPI on team-B player #50 because the team-A player #85 is the one standing there as he is entitled to hold that spot. However, I think the intent is that the rule applies to team-B being able to just stand there and hold his position. He might not even see the receiver moving his way. It will take more than just standing there before I'm going to judge that is intentions were to block the path of the receiver. [Edited by Ed Hickland on May 1st, 2003 at 11:05 PM]
Mike Simonds Great points Ed and TH. Before we penalize B we need to judge his intentions. Maybe he was looking at another receiver and just happened to get in the way...
