[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 636043, member: 7277"] Isn't it funny how through many years of football, up until 5-10 years or so we never really debated what a catch was, and now we do it every year? How can this rule finally be rewriten to where it both makes sense and is easy to interpret? Thoughts? My suggestion off the top of my head: 'Possession is complete when either of the following take place after a catch: 1) Receiver gets 2 feet down plus one additional step while in field of play 2) If receiver is going to the ground or out of bounds while making the catch and is unable to take an additional step, receiver must maintain control of ball as they hit the ground or are hit by a defender. ' Receiver taking additional steps as they make the catch falling to the ground would constitute a 3rd step and therefore possession. Dez Bryant non-catch therefore would be interpreted as a catch.
