TITANIC VS LUSITANIA Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 i have a question. if eric crouch takes the snap and runs for 10 yards past the line of scrimmage and then he laterals the ball to ameer abdullah, and ameer takes it another 30 yards, does ameer get 40 yards rushing or does he get 30 and crouch gets 10?

Mavric Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I think they both get credit for how far they ran with it. Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 What if Crouch runs 10 then fumbles with ball forward 5 and Ameer picks it up for another 15? Riddle me that, Batman. Quote Link to comment

Â I may be wrong, but I believe Ameer would get credit for 40 rushing yards. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 If it's a play where there is a pitch, the person that ends the play with the ball gets credit for the rushing yards. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 If it's a play where there is a pitch, the person that ends the play with the ball gets credit for the rushing yards. You're right. I was thinking of a hook and lateral play. The first guy gets a reception and the yards to that point then the guy who gets the pitch get the remaining yards but not a reception. Â With a pitch, the second guy gets all the yards. Quote Link to comment
WizardOfOsbourne Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I think the right answer is: They'd both be called for pass interference on an uncatchable pass, resulting in an automatic turnover. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Abdullah gets 40. That's how it always goes. Quote Link to comment
Glendower Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Abdullah gets 40. That's how it always goes. If not, we'd have to start making pitches behind the line of scrimmage on, say, an option count for negative yards rushing for the QB, and that would just get all kinds of messed up Quote Link to comment
Bowfin Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Good question, we were wondering the exact same thing with the Kellogg to Abdullah to Newby option. Quote Link to comment
