He menat that if his "calf" or his "shin" touch its the same thing....Its considered enough to be ruled down....I swear though, i have never seen a play like that where each time they replayed it, i thought different....
I didn't think a shin could touch without the knee following, rubber man Toomer proved me wrong...I suppose a calf could touch without the knee but surely the butt would be down anyway....strangest play of that kind I've ever seen.
