ART. 1 . . . A snap is the legal act of passing or handing the ball backward from
its position on the ground. ART. 2 . . . The snap begins when the snapper first moves the ball legally other than in adjustment. In a snap, the movement must be a quick and continuous backward motion of the ball during which the ball immediately leaves the hand(s) of the snapper and touches a back or the ground before it touches an A lineman. ART. 3 . . . The snap ends when the ball touches the ground or any player.

Here is a play from Redding's NFHS Football Rules. "
Example 3-19 After the ready, all Team A players are set. As A53 snaps the ball, B72 reaches in and knocks the ball away. RULING: The umpire must decide whether the snap was illegal or B72 encroached. It is highly unlikely the preceding example could occur without a foul. In practicality, for a defensive player to knock the ball away, either the snapper would have to hesitate after lifting the ball making the snap illegal and thus allowing the opponent enough time to touch the ball, or the Team B player would have to put his hand into the neutral zone before the snap."

ART. 3 . . . The snap ends when the ball touches the ground or any player. should read, ART. 3 . . . The snap ends when the ball touches the ground or any A player.

ANY player, knucklehead. Not just the QB or even just the offense.

Namecalling is unnecessary, I am saying it should be changed to say only A player makes it a legal snap. It would fix it for those who can't see that it is an illegal snap.

I see where you are going but let's say the ball was snapped over the punter's head and the first person to get to it was a B/R player. By your definition you would have an illegal snap.

well then it has hit the ground so it is a legal snap.

At least a couple times, the DL could have taken the snap from the air if he had played the ball instead of the QB. With your rule change, when would the snap end if this were to happen? Or is it encroachment or an illegal snap? |

Instead of regurgitating an old thread from here, Huey, or the FED, one would think an assistant coach would be trying to figure out why they have lost 17 of their last 18 games.
Then again, maybe this is why they have lost 17 of their last 18 games. |

But wait, let me understand... You are saying that the rule should be changed, in order to fix it for those who are currently only going by what the book SAYS as opposed to what you WANT it to say... Um ... ... ok.
