they should have reviewed the play just like they did for miss earlier in the game!

It seems to me though that once the ball touches the ground it should be fair game.
Pretty sure that is the case.

But one is an official signal, the other informal.
It is only with this new rule that the informal signal kills the ball.

The rule can't be to prevent injury IMO.
it's to avoid tricking the other team inan underhanded way

That is a stretch IMO. I totally get the theory behind the call if its a half-arse fair catch signal and then the player attempts to make a catch and run, but the ball bouncing around on the ground is a totally different scenario.
No matter what rules are rules, so we have to live with it.

I'd like to see the rule that was interpreted. I heard the perfunctory "explanation" given by the announcers. But, I've never seen that call, in action or on TV, much like the fan that referenced the LSU/Auburn game when we were penalized on the missed extra point.

They're opposite.
One says to the other team, "I'm catching this ball so back off".
One says to one's own team, "I'm not catching this ball so back off".

if you're on the kicking team, both signals mean the SAME thing: receiving team is not advancing the ball

Thanks. I'll try to look it up before posting further.

You cant signal a fair catch once it hits the ground can you? That's my problem with this call. The ball was already on the ground!

Hey juice, what is it with the Ed Orgeron picture?

i don't think you can signal anything once it hits the ground
i know for sure if you make an "invalid" signal (which is pretty much any blatant hand movement) it's dead for the returning team
Posted on 11/23/08 at 6:33 pm to HueyP
If the ball was already on the ground you cannot fair catch it. That rule should not have applied and was missused. Get me a lawyer and not slo flo.

That's the rule book. go to pages 93-94

quote:
ARTICLE 3. a. During a down in which a kick is made, no player of Team B shall
make any invalid fair catch signal during a free kick or beyond the neutral zone
during a scrimmage kick. Any signal is invalid after a scrimmage kick is caught
beyond the neutral zone, strikes the ground or touches another player beyond the
neutral zone. A signal is invalid after a free kick is caught, strikes the ground or
touches another player (A.R. 6-5-3-IV-VI).
b. A catch after an invalid signal is not a fair catch, and the ball is dead where
caught. If the signal follows a catch, the ball is dead when the signal is first
given (A.R. 6-5-1-II).
c. Invalid signals beyond the neutral zone apply only to Team B (A.R. 6-5-3-II).
d. An invalid signal beyond the neutral zone is possible only when the ball has
crossed the neutral zone (Rule 2-15-7) (A.R. 6-5-3-I).

Right.
He just did an invalid signal which is basically the same as a fair catch...it kills the ball when you recieve it.

the only problem is that saturday was the first time i've EVER seen that called and i've seen plenty of return men wave of teammates and pick the ball up and run

Except one is an official signal that says you must hold up and another is an unofficial signal that leaves the returner fair game.

I think it is a new rule this year.
I can't remember folks waving off before....
