Message: <blockquote data-quote="El Guapo" data-source="post: 1091707" data-attributes="member: 5830">Once the QB handed off the ball, the umpires follow the ball not the fake. The announcers "couldn't believe it" but did mention that once he handed off the ball he became an unprotected player. What they didn't discuss is the responsibility of the officials. The referee and umpire on passing plays watch the middle of the line and the QB. On running plays, their attention stays with the middle of the line and follows the ball. They are not supposed to keep watching the QB on running plays.Can you imagine if they missed a big call (such as a facemask) committed against the RB because they were instead watching the QB carry out his fake?</blockquote>
