Can someone please explain that one in detail. I heard them say that after the play but I have no clue what they mean by that. How does the line of scrimmage play into the rules?!?!??!
They don't know what they're talking about.
They're referencing the 2017 rule change in which you can't take a running start from off the line and leap, but somehow don't know that using teammates for leverage to leap over the line has been illegal for as long as I can remember.
Anyone who seriously tries to argue he didn't use two teammates for leverage to make it over is just using fan logic and being silly.
The only thing that's really surprising about it is how obvious of a flag it was, that threw the flag, and then picked it up.
Whatever though. Really bad and potentially game changing calls happen.
