2) The elbow was down before his arms extended - it's not a TD even on the second lunge.

So you're saying that there's no difference in how you'll call this considering it's 4th and goal? You're not going to give the runner every change to either (1) be down or (2) get to the goal line?

I'm not saying I agree or disagree, I'm just looking for discussion on this.
