Intentional grounding penalty enforcement

[stegenref]

We had a dispute amongst our crew the other night on how to enforce this penalty. Quarterback rolls out to his left, well out of the tackle box, and throws the ball out of bounds as he's getting pressured. White hat throws his flag for intentional grounding. The question then came up...is it 5 yards from the previous spot or five yards from the spot of the foul (i.e. where the ball was thrown)? The flag was laying about 5-7 yards behind the original LOS>

Since you mention the tacklebox, which ruleset? For Fed it is 5 yards from the spot of the foul plus loss of down. For NCAA, it is loss of down at the spot of the foul.

There are 2 times when the tackle box matters: in the NFL, and on the lake while fishing.

It matters in college games too.

FED: Basic spot is the previous spot, as this foul occurred during a loose-ball play. The foul by A occurred behind the basic spot; thus, under all-but-one, is penalized 5 yards from the spot of the foul, plus loss of down.
Being outside of the tackle box does not matter, in FED there is no such thing as a "tackle box"

Sorry...NFHS rules.

I don't honestly remember as I haven't looked at Fed rules in a few years but is an illegal forward pass considered a loose ball play?

illegal forward pass considered a loose ball play

Basic spot foul- was a foul by offense behind the previous spot.

Remember 10-3-1, 10-3-3

A loose-ball play is action during:

b. A legal forward pass.



The end of the run is:

b. Where the runner loses possession if his run is followed by a loose ball

IFP beyond the the LOS is enforced from the EOR.
