Male, 62

I've officiated football for over 30 years, now in my 26th on the college level. I've worked NCAA playoffs at the Division II and III level. In addition, I've coached at the scholastic level and have been an educator for over 35 years. I have no interest whatsoever in being an NFL official! Ever!

A field goal is blocked, the defensive team touches it again (muffs it) but never has Possession. It is recorded by the kicking team short of the line to gain. Whose ball is it?

How would it change if it was recovered and fumbled?

Why with saying they want to protect the QB so much do they not call in the grasp more? You can't touch them unless they have the ball.

Fumble recovery- RB fumbles near the sideline and it’s recovered by WR who went out of bounds (not pushed or forced). Can the WR be the first player to touch/recover the fumble? If it’s illegal and the Ball would’ve been recovered by the def .. call?

Asked by Jsims about 4 years ago

I'm 68 played football ions ago in high school. Question, it seems to me that back in the day. It did not matter if a RBs knee was down. If the ball came out prior to the ref's whistle, it was a fumble. When did NFL stop this? To knee down, no fumble
