Hayne Killing it

[Chip and Chase]

I see they are pulling themselves silly over a 37 yard punt return today. Can't wait for the day he scores a TD. It'll be a frenzy.

well......

He seems like good value compared to this guy!!

49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick had a disastrous game with two of his passes intercepted and returned for touchdowns in the first six minutes.

Kaepernick, signed to a six-year $US114 million ($162 million) contract, went on to throw two more interceptions and made just nine of 19 passes for 67 yards in what was the worst passing game of his career.

Especially if it's a TD that brings them to within 30ish.

Wonder if his team mates are turning to him for advice on coping with being on a terrible team..?

To be fair, probably only about 5 cents of that contract is guaranteed.

I do love how they report their contracts. "team blurgh just signed their quarterback to a 20 year, 500 million dollar contract that will see player meh be the highest paid player in world history"

Next year player meh is cut.

I would love to see him put in a chip and chase, run through and catch it for a TD - it would blow their minds

Sure would!
I know nothing about NFL but have watched a few snippets recently, anyone know why the quarterback is the only one allowed to pass it?

s'funny thing is that they aren't. Anyone can pass it in any direction. whenever a player throws a 'lateral' as they call it...the commentators all think it's kinda amazing!

 

[Chip and Chase]

You can only pass forward from behind the scrimmage line can't you ? Once you pass that point it's laterals only.

Correct. If you cross it and throw it forward an angry ref throws a hanky at you

Yes.

Sorry

@Loobs should be the one answering all these. He's the expert!

There's a lot of it on tv here.

 

[Chip and Chase]

I have no doubt that Hayne could (and would) throw laterals if he was allowed, but I imagine that the importance of ball security is paramount to these guys and they only attempt such plays under the most desperate of circumstances.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Well a few more heavy defeats and the 49ers might be getting fairly desperate.

 

[Fluffy]

it would certainly make an interesting play, run it straight and draw the outside defender only to put the winger away down the touch line.

Every day stuff in league but they wouldn't know what hit them

 

[Loobs]

FYI you can pass it backwards from any point but you'd probably freak everyone out. Not too common unless it's last play, roll of the dice, need a TD to win it kind of situation...


Backward Pass

1. Any pass not forward is regarded as a backward pass. A pass parallel to the line is a backward pass. A runner may pass backward at any time.
2. A backward pass that strikes the ground can be recovered and advanced by either team.
3. A backward pass caught in the air can be advanced by either team.
4. A backward pass in flight may not be batted forward by an offensive player.

BTW - that seems a lot more straight forward than the cluster**** we have around forward passes and the direction leaving the hands bull****...

The Roosters would be good at NFL lol

Cameron Smith has been playing QB for Melbourne his whole career.

Hayne may be 'killing it' but almost on cue Mundine has come out to remind us all that he is the best athlete Australia has ever seen.

He is a world class tool bag, for sure. *
