what a smart play by Leon Washington, stepped out of bounds on Kickoff on purpose to get ball at 40
Yep thats the rule, the player cant get ball and run outta bounds obviously but if he is stepping out WHILE he is picking up the ball its a penalty on kicking team.So even though the ball doesn't go out of bounds the receiving player can go out of bounds and touch the ball that's inbounds and it's a penalty on the kicking team???
:think2:
Why penalize the kicking team for keeping the ball in bounds???
