Another Ref Question...

[BataviaDogs1]

Inadvertent whistles, replay the down or do you spot the ball where the inadvertent whistle was blown? TIA.

 

[RetiredReferee]

We DO NOT talk about that.

 

[ref2]

LOL

 

[PowerI66_]

It's offenses choice

Ahhhh the Cardinal sin!

There are several different scenarios with the sin i.e... when it happened in relation to a change of possession or a penalty or both.

If no foul or change of possession occurs and a IW happens then the offense has 2 choices:
1. replay the down.. previous LOS
2. accept the result of the play (where the IW shut the play down) and move to the next down.

On a punt, if the snap is low and hits the ground, can there still be roughing the kicker? I thought it was s live ball once it hit the ground?

Yes and no. The punter is still, in my interpretation, afforded protection as a defenseless player should he still be able to punt the ball.

I.E. Don't hit his plant foot.
