If the pass is incomplete the recovering team takes possession at the spot of the recovery or interception. I don't think you guys are understanding it correctly.

Dumbest shite ever. Just imagine Harold Perkins picks up a ball and throws it 30 yards to a DB and it gets intercepted by a WR who houses it. Just fricking dumb

We played that rule in touch football all my childhood.

Sometimes we would play "Passing All Over", which meant you could throw multiple forward passes off an interception. That was fun!

No, pretty sure everybody understands it. I don't see how it's that much of a benefit. The current state of things where the defender can pick it up and advance it and has the option to pitch back or laterally is working well.

You can lateral back anytime but rarely see it unless end of game or half. Forward pass by defense is nonsense and would rarely be seen, even if it was legal.

They used to say the same about the forward pass on offense.

On a turnover you should be allowed to throw one forward pass. This would make the game more enjoyable for everyone and give the defense a better chance to score.

Example: Run up the middle and the ball gets knocked out. Linebacker picks it up and as long as he doesn't try to advance the ball past where he picked it up he can sling it over to the db who broke for the endzone as soon as he saw the loose ball.

You could even have a situation where you are down a touchdown with a minute left and put your qb in at safety and try to force a fumble for a quick score.

I don't see any reason why this wouldn't be universally accepted.


I have a rule suggestion: The defense gets to use one flash bang grenade per game.

One time whenever the D wants they can throw the grenade and catch the offense off guard.

Offense can also have a smoke grenade that they can use to disguise their play.
