Is that lineman downfield illegally when the ball is caught?

Sure looks like it - that's the first thing I thought when I saw that picture.

He's a good 2-3 yards in front of the line of scrimmage before Stafford lets the pass go. Play starts at about the 20 second mark.

Wow. How hard is it to snap the ball? It must be much tougher than it looks.

Better question is, is how did this guy break camp with them? Is he the best they could do? Seems like something either you can or can't do and they should have figured it out in OTA's/pre-season games.

 

He was the backup. The starter went out injured.

i can't get enough of this video of Suh's one-arm takedown of Steven Jackson

 

I think you mean horse collar. Suuuch a dirty player

 

You clearly don't know what a horse collar is.

 

And you missed our (sp and I) fights last season. It was tongue-in-cheek

I thought lineman had 5 yards? It looks like he is way out front because everyone else is so far behind the LOS, but w/I the rules

I believe there's a cushion in there of about 2-3 yards.

Yeah, IDK what the exact rule is for being an illegal man down field. I would think it has to be around 5 yds or more, with maybe a judgement call if a o-lineman is down field less than 5 but possibly impacting the route of the WR or DB/S/LB?
