you have to throw the ball at the ground to get it rolling. as long as it is backwards it is legal isn't it?

7-2-8
ART. 8 . . . Any A player on his line of scrimmage may not advance a planned loose ball in the vicinity of the snapper. Doesn't say a back can't advance a planned loose ball, does it?

agreed
Agreed a back may advance a loose ball...the question remains, did we have a loose ball or an illegal snap....in order for a ball to be loose it must be live, in order for it to be live the snap must be legal....and then there is the chicken and the egg....

so if you pass a ball a short distance and it hits the ground and rolls, does it not fulfill the requirements for a snap?
ART. 3 . . . The snap ends when the ball touches the ground or any player.
