[QUOTE="PackwillBEback, post: 411194, member: 446"] Since the play did not originate inside the five yard line, the Line Judge and Head Linesmen are in their usual position on the line of scrimmage. Thee Side Judge and Field Judge. have the goal line (if it originated at 5 or in...they would have been at the back of the end zone corners at the end line and sideline). The Back Judge has the whole end line. It is one of these grey areas of which official has responsibility. Since the Field Judge has goal line responsibility, he isn't looking into the field of the play when Driver passes him. He probably should have seen it, but you are usually slow when you are turning around behind you to see the receiver. The Back Judge won't pick up on Driver until the ball is thrown, so it wasn't his responsibility. It was the Field Judge's responsibility...he missed it, but he made a great call on the sideline call and catch. He would have caught it had he been in the end line position, but I'm glad he wasn't because if he was...he might have ruled that Driver had stepped out and then became the first to touch the ball after being out of bounds (It was inconclusive from the video, they wouldn't have overturned the on field call). Only the Back Judge could see if Donald stepped out or not from 20 yards away, rather than Field Judge from 5 yards away. Off setting penalties...no TD. So I'm just glad that the FJ was in correct position to make a great call and not in position to rule on illegal touching! [/QUOTE]
