re: Shaw's response to Sternberger fumble

at the very least you need to review the Sternberger incomplete pass if you review the Mond knee.

He did. The ball is in your possession once you have control of it, which he most certainly immediately did. He wasn't bobbling it.
Your argument equates to "he doesn't have possession until he's had possession for two steps." That doesn't make any sense.

And he only took one step after that.

It makes sense if you watch what actually happened.

Why aren't they? Possession should be possession no matter what the scenario is. Both players are trying to gain possession of the ball. How can you subjectively judge that a person picking up a ball immediately has possession, but you can't subjectively judge that a person catching the ball immediately has possession?

The same rule any=one else is. The example video you posted is not the same. The bama RB catches the ball while not moving, takes two steps and then is stripped. That one is much obviously a catch. This is one sis not.

Well than every place kick should be ruled down before the kick is attempted since the holder's knee is on the ground.

That pass was incomplete imo. The worst and only really bad call imo was the PI on Williams.

Take the purple and gold glasses off.
That's two steps. Go back to your Aggie or Gump board!

If they can say Kellen Mond had possession of the ball when he instantly touched it with one hand with his knee on the ground; then you have to be consistent and say that Sternberger had possession with both hands on the ball and turning up field.

No, it's one.
The step that occurs before the ball is in his hands doesn't count.

it makes no sense because nowhere in the rule does it say "take two steps".
I'm not sure if thats an NFL thing, but I keep hearing faggies say it as well.
the only keys are did he have "possession" and make an act "common to the game".

number of steps is irrelevant.
Indeed, it's not.
This is all that matters...

Player Possession: The ball is in player possession when a player has the ball firmly in his grasp by holding or controlling it while contacting the ground inbounds.
Using steps as a basis for possession is inane. Hypothetically, what if a player caught a ball and then just stood there? He's not in possession yet?

He had control of that ball, and he fumbled it....period.
Absolutely absurd.

Guy picks ball up off the ground with one hand is deemed to be in possession of the ball, but a guy catches it and runs two steps and loses ball but he never had possession!!!
Go figure
Go figure

This is your argument?

The play in question does not satisfy having possession long enough to make a move common to the game. Two steps is a measure that officials can use to determine that, as the video Dave posted says.

Yes, and when he saw he was about to be hit he started to tuck it closer to his side and got hit.
The act of trying to tuck it is a football move.
Obvious fumble.
