Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Been meaning to post this all week, but kept forgetting. In last Monday nights game between Minn and Seattle, if you recall right before half time Wilson threw a horrible interception. On the play he scrambled around ran outside the pocket, then came back to dead center of the field where he threw it. If it wasn't intercepted, and assuming there were no Seahawk receivers there either could that have been intentional grounding? Specifically what I'm wondering is once he scrambled outside the pocket, even though he returned to the pocket is the only requirement that the ball makes it back to the LOS to not be grounding, it other words it's consdiered that once you leave the pocket, you never return. Or if you throw from inside the pocket, doesn't matter where you were standing earlier in the play it's grounding when no one nearby. Any idea??

The ball would only have to reach the LoS... if he escaped the tackle box that is all that needs to be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 716. - Spot on, but would add if he was in the pocket and threw closely to a target, but really throwing away, he wouldn’t be called as there was someone very close as opposed to out of bounds.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 OK so once you leave the box, you're out of the box for the remainder of the play regardless of where else you run to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
