Block in the back ?

[seanireland]

50 blocks 31 legally. No call. This block is from the front. Stop motion on the video shows this to be the initial contact.

Block in the back must be initial contact in the back between the shoulders. It can be a one finger tap on the number of the opponents back number and it will be a block in the back. But if the block is on the back of the shoulder pads at the shoulder it is not a block in the back. 2-5-2

The ump got pushed off this play. Shouldn't he have been at the LOS and read the blocking of the linemen? The ref keeps his eye on the QB and stays with him in this situation doesn't he? BJ is end line, not middle of EZ. Linesman is a few yards down the line. Seems ok, because this QB sure seems like he could have tucked and run.

The QB is a very good scrambler. Nice catch.
