We all know that when the receiver gets hit the instant the ball gets there that's an incomplete pass, but what about when he gets hit half a heartbeat later? A whole heartbeat later? Two heartbeats later? I think the concept of the "football move" was put in for that, trying to make a clearer line of when the receiver has actually made a catch (and therefore the popped out ball is a fumble) and when he hasn't. Unfortunately since it's such a vague term with so many possible goofy interpretations (especially when coupled with the ground rule on receptions like yesterday in Indy) they actually made the situation less clear. ---

You've been so "right on" on this whole thread, I think you ought to be an official. Really.
