Was Holmes' right foot ever down?

I saw the angle from the sideline that showed his left foot dragging on the ground. They showed that angle multiple times, even zooming in on his foot. However, I was watching on a ****** TV with a ****** signal so I never saw a clear clip of it. I could make out that his left foot was down, but couldn't see his right foot. They also showed an angle that looked to come from the other endzone (or maybe from a camera hanging over the field) which got a better shot of his right foot. Here is a photo of (roughly) the angle I'm talking about:



It is hard to tell from that picture if his right foot is down when he has the ball. A photo from a split second before...



...shows his foot down before the ball get to him.

Did they ever zoom in on the angle I'm referring to? I thought it was clear the left foot was down, it was the right that was questionable to me (I also didn't have the luxery of audio at the time).

All I can say though is that that was one helluva game. We've actually had some pretty good Super Bowls as of late. I was rooting for the Cards just to see the underdog win and see a team come from where they came from and EARN a championship on the field. I can't help but go back and point to the lack of playoffs as something that holds college football back. The Cards wouldn't have had a chance under any other system other than one that settles it on the field each game. Oh well, football is now over. Bummer. Next season can't get here soon enough.

This one is after the catch was made but his right foot is clearly off the ground. Again, I didn't have the luxery of audio (I hate Madden, so that wasn't so bad) so I don't know if his right foot was addressed.

It looked like the right foot was crossed over the left foot and just off the ground. I thought we'd get the hyper close up but we didn't. None of the Cardinals are saying it wasn't good, so I guess it was. Madden was mostly focused on the excietement and greatness of the catch, even during the review.

Just the fact it's even being debated confirms that the call can't be overturned.
