At some point when reviewing plays, the league should consider adding a speed threshold for anything involving the element of time.
When you slow plays down to 1/100th the speed, it distorts what actually happened and makes it look like, in this case, Cooks possessed the ball for seconds prior to losing it. The game is not played in slow motion or frame by frame.
For a catch:
A) Secure control of the ball โ
B) Two feet down in bounds โ
C) After (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, clearly performs any act common to the game (e.g., extend the ball forward, take an additional step, tuck the ball away and turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent), or he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so.
C is where there is a judgement needed since A and B are clearly met. Now consider this note to the rule:
If a player, who satisfied (a) and (b), but has not satisfied (c), contacts the ground and loses control of the ball, it is an incomplete pass if the ball hits the ground before he regains control, or if he regains control out of bounds.
Because Cooks did lose control of the ball when he contacted the ground and the ball never contacted the ground, it was ruled an interception by Denver.
@RHULEROFNEB You compared his situation to Nico. His decision is nothing like that. Nico's family strong armed Tennessee for more money and entered the portal to attain that. DR did not.
@bigredmatt1011@RHULEROFNEB That's fine. I wish the portal was structured better too. NIL was inevitable and the NCAA has no control. Still, no need to bash the kids that leave
@JoshNathan9496@RHULEROFNEB It's about the program and the negativity that people like you put out there, not Dylan. Same with Malcolm Hartzog, he committed to the program and has decided to move on. Wish him well and let's find players that can help us win. Stop bashing the kids
@ESPNPR@espn@ESPNNFL@ESPNNBA@F1@CollegeGameDay@NCAASoccer Make a deal! Luckily I'm okay missing all of that programming this week. @YouTubeTV has an agreement with Fox and NBC to carry the Big 10 games I want to watch most. Disappointed that we'll miss out on other games because of @espn greed. I'll check the box scores on The Score app
