I readily admitted in my post my definitions could be wrong. And pointing out the rule (2-33-1) doesn't help since I don't have access to the rule book. But I guess if it makes you feel better to talk down to me, go for it.

If that's not how you meant to come across, I apologize, that's the way your read to me.

Here ya go:

ART. 1 . . . A loose-ball play is action during:

a. A free kick or scrimmage kick other than post-scrimmage kick fouls.

b. A legal forward pass.

c. A backward pass (including the snap), an illegal kick or fumble made by A from in or behind the neutral zone prior to a change of team possession.

d. The run or runs which precedes such legal or illegal kick, legal forward pass, backward pass or fumble.


ART. 2 . . . A running play is any action not included in Article 1, including the related run as in 2-41-9a.
