Just seems to me that there should be a 'continuation' of sorts. He began the act while the ball was still in the air. We're going to say that there wasn't a penalty until the point of actual contact and parse the line that thin?
It sure seems to give guys a green light on 4th downs to go being a guided missile out there. Seems to run opposite of what the league's been trying to do on those plays.
