Message: <blockquote data-quote="areacodes" data-source="post: 465976" data-attributes="member: 5618">Let me see if I follow correctly. You agree that Jennings had control first, correct? Then you quote a rule that states: "It is not a simultaneous catch if a player gains control first and an opponent subsequently gains joint control." Correct? Next you say, that Player X must complete the process of the catch before Player Y gains joint control for Player X to have possession of the ball. Am I following correctly? Lets do a hypothetical scenario then. So Player X (defense) is a few feet away from Player Y (offense) when he controlled the football in the air (as you agree that Jennings did) and before he touches the ground with two feet, Player Y also gets his hand on the football. Now, Player X would not have possession of the ball? Instead possession should go to Player Y because of the Simultaneous Catch rule? Please explain, because that is essentially what happened at the end of the game except it was in a group of players.</blockquote>
