Just to play devil's advocate here, do you want your wing official watching someone's feet to see if he just barely makes it off the field or not at the snap, OR would you rather he be watching the LOS for the false start that he may miss while deciding whether or not someone made it out of bounds? At the high school level I would be much more concerned about the penalty that could effect the play rather than one that has no bearing whatsoever.

No, I don't want the wings turning heads and missing play at the line of scrimmage. What I said was I don't want them ignoring it cause the player is only a step or two from the sidelines. If they miss it because they're officiating and the player runs out of their line of sight, fine. We don't have 7 officials in my state. I also don't mind if someone else gets this if it's obvious (back judge, for example). |
I absolutely agree. I can tell you, however, that my crew will not make that call if he is a step off the sideline.

If that is acceptable where you live that is fine, but I would not be the one advocating that practice. Because there are other things you could miss and if you miss a deception play because you had to step foreword, I would rather take the chance of taking the heat for an IP called than missing something bigger because I was not in position.

Another example of the joke of instant replay. It was supposed to correct obvious errors. From the previous posts it appears most officials consider a 12th leaving the field to not be worth much of their bother. A player one step from being off the field obviously had no bearing on the play as most of you have already agreed. Can the NFL use a little common sense here? |

The play was properly reviewed and Mike Carey properly threw the flag after review. If you don't like the rule, then that's fine. (Such fact only shows you don't understand professional football.) But to dis IR? POW..... |
