On a previous post, it was stated that an invalid Fair catch signal is not a PSK enforcement.
Why wouldnt it be? Does anyone have rule support for this.?

Invalid fair catch is now a PSK foul.
It meets the 4 criteria and occurs before possession is obtained. To me that was a big inequity before the new rule to think some receiver failing to properly signal could cost his team possession of the ball. |

I can't say that I remember the post you are talking about but an invalid fair-catch signal is defined as a signal by a receiver before the kick is caught or recovered that does not meet the requirements of a valid signal, is after the kick has touched a receiver, or after the kick has touched the ground. 2-9-3,4. So to have an invalid fair-catch signal the window for PSK is still open by definition. It is a PSK foul.
For an illegal fair-catch signal then the kick is over by definition and penalized from spot-of-foul or end-of-run just as normal. |

Notice that the poster said it was a FREE kick, where PSK never applies. Regards, Rich |
