There is no part of that "catch" that is not a catch. There's no bobble. There's 2 feet down. He's tucking the ball into his body. He's turning up field. He gets hit and fumbles the ball. Thats a ****ing catch and fumble.

Well whether it is a dumb rule or not. It is relatively easy to officiate.
The studio ref thought the overturning was straight forward before the call was announced and I agreed with him.
The football move is the third step and it didn't happen.
But likewise, you pull the jersey back from the receiver and it doesn't matter if it is ticky tacky or not. That is asking for PI.
And I thought things were easier to ref before the Megatron rule change, but whatever.
As long as they announce the rules. The current rule is third step.
