[QUOTE="PFanCan, post: 465968, member: 1989"] Bear, Possession when landing is not the issue here. It's about control and who got it first. Stop me when you disagree: 1. Jennings got two hands on the ball. Tate had one. 2. Jennings pulled the ball to his chest. Tate had his hand between the ball and Jennings chest. His right hand was on Jennings right arm. 3. Tate landed two feet first about the same time that he got both hands on the ball, which remained in Jennings chest area. 4. They both fell to the ground with both bear hugging the ball. 5. A scrum ensued and all hell broke loose. I hope the above described the situation fair and square. Now, as you will see below, the rules don't focus on who touches the ground first. It's all about who controls the ball first. Don't confuse the definition of a catch with the definition of control. The rulebook is clear (paraphrased below): 1. A catch is made if a player controls the ball and maintains that control through landing on the ground with two feet or body (page 13). 2. Control only requires a firm grasp on the ball. It is only one requirement of a catch. This is mentioned throughout the rulebook within clarifications of various rules (see Article 7, page 13 for an instance). 3. A simultaneous catch is not possible if a player controls the ball before the other. (page 47). Jennings had control first, and never relenquished control throughout the entire process. Therefore, not only did he invalidate any simultaneous catch claim, but he actually was the only person who caught the ball. [/QUOTE]
