  13. TargetingRules 2-20-2 (NEW); 9-4-3m (NEW) A blow to the helmet by two linemen in the free blocking zone is not necessarily a targeting foul.

  14. Targeting TargetingRule 9-4-3m (NEW) Illegal Personal Contact Targeting is an act of taking aim and initiating contact to an opponent above the shoulders with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulders.Targeting may be called for contact against any opponent, including the runner.Note that the passer in this play is also a defenseless player. Targeting is a 15-yard penalty for illegal personal contact.

  15. Defenseless PlayerRules 2-32-16 (NEW); 9-4-3i(3) A new definition for a defenseless player has been added. A defenseless player is a player who, because of his physical position and focus of concentration, is especially vulnerable to injury.

  16. Defenseless PlayerRules 2-32-16 (NEW); 9-4-3i(3)EXAMPLE: OUT OF THE PLAY B6 has chosen not to participate further and is obviously out of the play. He is considered to be defenseless.

  17. Defenseless PlayerRules 2-32-16 (NEW); 9-4-3i(3)EXAMPLE: KICKER After a kick (PlayPic A), a kicker who has not had a reasonable amount of time to regain his balance after the kick (PlayPic B) is a defenseless player.

  18. Defenseless PlayerRules 2-32-16 (NEW); 9-4-3i(3)EXAMPLE: PASS RECEIVER A pass receiver attempting to catch a pass, or a pass receiver who has clearly relaxed when the player has missed the pass or feels he can no longer catch the pass, is considered defenseless.

  19. Defenseless PlayerRules 2-32-16 (NEW); 9-4-3i(3)EXAMPLE: KICK RECEIVER A kick receiver attempting to catch or recover the ball is considered defenseless.

  20. Defenseless PlayerRules 2-32-16 (NEW); 9-4-3i(3)EXAMPLE: PLAYER ON THE GROUND A player who is on the ground is considered defenseless.

  21. Defenseless PlayerRules 2-32-16 (NEW); 9-4-3i(3)EXAMPLE: FORWARD PROGRESS STOPPED A runner already in the grasp of an opponent and whose forward progress has been stopped is defenseless. Contact on the runner could also be considered targeting.

  22. Free-Kick FormationRules 6-1-3b (NEW); 6-1-3c (NEW) After the ready-for-play has been signaled and until the ball is kicked for a free kick, team K must have at least four players on either side of the kicker. As shown in the MechaniGram, K is guilty of a dead-ball foul.

  23. Free-Kick FormationRules 6-1-3b (NEW); 6-1-3c (NEW) On a free kick, from the time the ready-for-play is signaled until the ball is kicked, no K player other than the kicker may be more than five yards from his free-kick line. The formation in the MechaniGram becomes legal when the ball has been declared ready-for-play.

  24. Free-Kick FormationRules 6-1-3b (NEW); 6-1-3c (NEW) The formation in the MechaniGram becomes illegal when the ball has been declared ready-for-play. K3, K4, K5 and K6 are all more than five yards from their free kick line. No K players, with the exception of the kicker may be more than five yards behind the kicking team’s free kick line. A player satisfies this rule when no foot is on or beyond the line five yards behind K’s free kick. If one player is more than five yards behind the restraining line and any other player kicks the ball, it is a foul.

  25. ForceRule 8-5-1b (NEW) K1 blocks R2 into the ball. The accidental touching of a loose ball by a player who was blocked into the ball by an opponent is ignored and does not constitute a new force. The result of this play is a touchback.

  26. Roughing the PasserRule 9-4-4 No defensive player shall charge into, or commit any illegal personal contact foul listed in Rule 9-4-3 against the passer who is standing still or fading back, because he is considered out of the play after the pass and has not moved to participate in the play. Grasping of the face mask is considered roughing the passer.

  27. Forward Progress 2014 RVOA

  28. Forward Progress Forward progres is a definition that must be applied on virtually every play. Rule 2-15-1 says it is the end of advancement of the ball towards the opponent's goal. Barring an inadvertent whistle or the runner’s helmet coming off, the runner’s advancement can end four ways: • He is down by rule; • His forward progress is stopped; • He steps out of bounds; or • He loses possession either by handing, passing, or kicking the ball (voluntary), or by fumbling (involuntary).

  29. Forward Progress The runner may lower his head when contacted to gain yardage, but he cannot use his head to butt, ram or punish an opponent. The illegal helmet contact rules apply equally to all players. The runner may also ward off would-be tacklers, but he cannot kick them or otherwise deliver a blow. The runner may stiff arm and use a hand on an opponent’s helmet or face mask but just like any other player, he cannot grasp or pull the tackler’s face mask. The hand must be open and in advance of the elbow. Also, the runner cannot butt or ram opponents using his helmet as a weapon.

  30. Inbound Plays Although running plays are easier to deal with than passing plays, difficulties arise if you don’t have a consistent methodology for determining the forward progress spot. When the runner gets “lost” in a cluster of linemen in the middle of the field, it can be difficult to determine the exact forward progress spot. When the runner’s voluntary movement is stopped, the whistle should be blown. Remember on some occasions, defenders will relax when they hear the whistle while the runner fights on, giving the ppearance of a premature whistle.

  31. Sideline Plays • If the runner steps out of bounds, the forward progress spot is the foremost point of the ball when the runner touches the ground out of bounds. That applies regardless of whether the ball is held inside or outside the sideline. • For tackles near the sideline, determining the forward progress spot can be challenging. If the runner’s forward progress spot is stopped in the field of play, even if he is subsequently thrown out of bounds, the clock is not stopped, but if he went out of bounds before his forward progress was stopped, the clock is STOPPED.

  32. Forward Progress POE • Position yourself off the field • On every play know your down & distance signal and confirm verbally with your crew. • No need to run into the field of play on every play. • Come in and sell your call on close first downs and goal line plays, typically 10 yards and in. Get to that goal line and work backwards. • Square off ALL plays! • Never turn your back to the field of play & players! • After each play confirm down with crew. • Punch back only for players off the LOS, we don’t punch forward for being on. Don’t coach kids, they are either on or off. • After ball becomes dead, watch players!
