opinions from this boards members

I do a lot of working on the McGriff board, and would like to get into this one some as well.
I am a FB officiating junkie who works the board while watching TV many late nights. I to become a better official by answering questions on the board and sometimes posting.

Here is one I need your help on.
Debate with fellow official and I cannot find a rule reference. After a punt, we have a BIB on the right hash, and the ball becomes dead in player possession close to the left hash. After the penalty walkoff, is the ball put in play in line with the DBSpot, or in line with the spot of the foul. Rule references please!

Would love to have any/all of you look at the McGriff board as well as this one. The more we share, the better we will become! Roamin Umpire and Mike Sears are two I noticed on this board who are missed on the other.

It depends, what spot was the yardage walked off from. If the BIB is behind basic spot, the walk off is from the spot of the foul and the inbound spot is where that is walked off from (2-40-10 see the note). If the end of the run is behind the spot of the foul, you walk off from the end of the run and use that spot for inbounding. Reference 10-6, spot of foul, all but one and 2-40, definition of spots. The spot is just that, a spot, not a line (look at the wording of 2-40-8)

I am assuming that PSK was not in play, if it was, then the BIB spot must be behind the end of the kick so you can have three spots. End of the run, end of the kick and spot of the foul. Depending on when and where the foul occured, any of the three could be enforcement spots and ball inbounded or placed between the inbound lines based on the position of the particular spot.

If I confused you, my job here is done.

BullDogMC has it right. I won't rehash what he said.

I appreciate that I am missed at McGriffs. I used to post there a lot. Then it got real bad as far as the nonsense posts and it was just too much to wade thru. I still check in now and then but I don't post there much anymore.

[MJT]

Ya, the nonsence posts were a pain last year, but it has been much better this year. Chip in now and then with your wisdom. Thanks for the input.

McGriff's should adopt a format from the 21st century, not unlike this one or the Fed board. Also, the personal attack posts are beyond tiresome. Take away the "I hate Rut" posts, and it would halve the activity.

I stopped looking at it over the summer.

[Bob Mc]

I totally agree. I also stopped going there for that very reason. It just was not worth the time it took to wade through the crap to get to what was informative.

There's a play like this in the casebook, I will look for it when I get a chance
