Please clarify a call

Thanks for the responses.

In regards to this scenario, is the foul somewhat akin to illegal contact/defensive holding? Can I assume it would depend if the ball was in the air when the foul occurred??

By the same token, Can a QB complete a legal forward pass to himself if he is the first to touch the ball???

I just like to learn the correct calls and this forum is a real good tool. Thanks again.

The foul is somewhat similar to illegal contact and defensive holding but it makes no difference if the foul occurred before the pass or after the pass, just as long as a pass is evetually thrown and it crosses the line of scrimmage.

Yes the QB can throw a legal forward pass to himself.
