[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 763586, member: 10441"] kind of, depends on how they interpret it. Sometimes it's just an incomplete pass :) I wasn't completely clear, but if they're going to allow what i see as "quicker" catches with less control exhibited, I see more of these "incomplete" passes as "catches" maybe. If a player is contacted by a defender, but is not in contact with him after "securing" the ball with the ground it should be a fumble. Right now if a player is going to the ground, usually as the result of some sort of contact before securing the ball and the ball never touches the ground, it's a catch and down by contact. If they're going to allow ground contact after that point and still be a catch, then they better rule it a fumble at that point too if they aren't currently being contacted by the defender. [/QUOTE]
