You have to create your OWN separation, you cannot use a player to establish it. If he had NOT pushed off...he would not have gotten to that pass.

I actually think he could have still caught the pass without the push -- he had the inside already. But it was most defiantly a push off. Receivers do it all the time and usually get away with it, but you can just about guarantee when you do it in the end zone, directly in front of an official not 10 feet away, you will get a flag.

So right. I'm not wishing at all to sound judgmental, but you are just stone-RIGHT! I think he probably would have caught it too. He just picked a bad place to break the rules. Sort of like robbing a bank with 10 policemen standing behind you.
