If Jones had caught the ball, clearly put both feet down before the EZ while maintaining possession, then it would have been a TD. If he had "dotted" the EZ with his second foot (as Nelson has become brilliant at) and maintained possession, it would have been a TD. I did think it was close regarding Jones having possession when his foot came down just outside the EZ - then the foot that clearly landed in the EZ would have been a TDAnother example of the difference is Calvin Johnson getting TDs erased even after he catches the ball and gets two feet down in the EZ - he has to control the ball throughout the process. OTOH as you say, a runner who stretches the ball out and touches the pylon with it, scores. Like it or not, there are different rules regarding catching the ball vs. running the ball and scoring TDs.One of Johnson's TDs that wasn't: [media=youtube]N83jLhwHME4[/media]</blockquote>
