plenzmd1 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) 1) watching Indy game and Collins lines up about 5 yards deep in defensive backfield, but directly in front of center on extra point try. He times the snap perfectly, making a straight line and leaping directly over the center without being touched and blocks the extra point. Why is this not lining up over the center? I mean he was directly in front of center peesnap, and if not timed perfectly plows into center as he gets out of stance. 2) on challenges, if you first one is correct, I know you have both left use. But if your second one is not successful, do you lose your last one , or do you still keep it. Thanks for the help gents. Edited October 19, 2015 by plenzmd1
Maddog69 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I can't answer the first question but to answer the second. You have to get both challenges right to get another challenge. So just because you get the first one right, it doesn't you still have two left. You still have to get the next one right to earn a Third one.
Tuco Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 The lining up directly over the center only applies to anyone within 1 yard of the line of scrimmage. If he was within 1 yard of the line of scrimmage before the snap he should have been flagged. I'm assuming they saw something that the team did just before the snap that would give away the timing. Also, a player jumping over the line to block a kick, if he wasn't within 1 yard of the line of scrimmage at the snap, will get a 15 yard penalty if he lands on any player from either team when he comes down. So the whole thing can be risky.

So if the center would have reached up and touched him it would have been a penalty?

So if the center would have reached up and touched him it would have been a penalty? Hard to say. The rule just says it's 15 yards for unsportsmanlike if the player is "running forward and leaping in an obvious attempt to block a field goal or try kick and landing on players, unless the leaping player was originally lined up within 1 yard of the line of scrimmage when the ball was snapped."
