[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 767994, member: 7277"] Since they're going to rewrite this rule yet again and likely just make it more convoluted, here would be my proposed solution: "A receiver (or defender) completes a catch when he attains possession of the football with two feet or one knee and satisfies one of the following:" A) Survives contact to the ground with possession, or B) Completes an additional step. Why not? Its simple and doesn't leave a lot to subjectivity. Both the Dez Bryant and Calvin Johnson plays would have been ruled catches under this definition. They don't like receivers losing the catch that looks like a catch on the eye test but has them losing possession as they continue forward. This eliminates that. [/QUOTE]
