They should make the tuck rule for the receivers and DBs and the football move for the QBs.

They should define "football move" to include getting off the turf to try to advance the ball. As called yesterday, a receiver could fall to his knees on the 1 yard line, catch the ball and fall into the end zone, and it would be an incomplete pass cause he didn't get off his knees.

In that case I believe it would be a touchdown. I know it seems screwy which is exactly why the rules need to be simplified a bit.

If a receiver catches a ball on his knees and then falls out of bounds, it is a catch. The same would apply to crossing the goal line.

What I'm not sure about is if a football move is necessary in all receptions or only in certain situations.
