New Offensive Idea Shared with us...Is It Legal?

[ljudge]

Hey Kurt, I never saw this one before. But on thing I have seen is teams doing this on kickoff returns of balls kicked deep. There's nothing illegal about that either.

Everything you've presented on this board you label as "new". I'm just guessing here, but are like 12 years old when everything you learn about you figure must be new?

Hey Ljudge, you say there is nothing illegal about this on free kick plays. However, if I undertand the original post correctly it is a bunch of players in a "huddle" during the live ball play. If the ball is being handed around in there or even from one player to another everything is fine on a scrimmage down as long as all this occurs behind LOS. However on upon receiving a free kick R may only hand off backwards. So if the ball is handed forward inside this "huddle" it would be an illegal forward handoff.
