Fournette got absolutely tackled when he was targeted on a screen pass last night. Is that legal/not holding because he's behind the LOS, a receiver not more than 5 yards downfield? The ref clearly saw it/made no call. What's the rule there?



Ball in the air (as is the case here), should have been interference.

Ball not yet in the air, is holding.

He was tackled long after the ball was thrown way over his head. Just like the other screen passes we tried to run.
This should be followed with /thread.

You folks need to get a rule book and read rule 7 for this. Still, the rules apply differently according to the situation. A receiver behind the line can be knocked on his arse anytime. His position along with where the ball is thrown (behind LOS) is very much the focus of the penalty.
