First play: Question that has to be asked of the official is did he try to throw him at the bench? If so, he's gone for flagrant. Definitely the 15. Second play: And I've got ANOTHER late hit there. And the question I have on that one, that looks to be two consecutive plays too. Third: Good no-call, but given what has apparently already gone on in the game... Fourth: Definite DB UC 72 Purple. Could be more than that.

Could you please put what position your working with in video description if possible? I like to pull up particular mechanics/topics as I think about them. I appreciate your videos.

About the 10-minute mark - I believe that was a legal touch signal indicating an eligible receiver.

Does it matter if the downfield block is disengaged BEFORE the pass leaves the QBs hand?

In addition to false start I would also say that the WR is offsides at 5:11

At 17:30, I would have ruled this a Personal Foul (tripping) instead of DPI. More effective.

I was considering becoming a coach in the future. Would it be wise to study these rules before getting a coaching certification?

21:03 Good Dead ball officiating1

Just a reminder that the option for the offended team to have the clock start on the snap applies to both live and dead ball fouls including non-player and unsportsmanlike.

I don’t think that is OPI because the ball wasn’t in the air nor passed the line of scrimmage. Maybe I’m wrong. Am I? Thanks

16:52 looks like this block occurs in the FBZ, isn’t that legal by linemen in the FBZ or does the chase-mode element override the FBZ allowance?

Thank You very much, from Spain. Your videos help us to improve our officiating level.

greeting from iowa. Im kinda wondering if if it was something that was said more that the ball itself

16:51 idk

Great job again 👍🏽

Great stuff as always, Brian! Found this channel doing my pre-season prep, and I know it'll be a staple of weekly/pregame film review going forward. Cheers from VA for a safe and successful season!

Brian I have a correction towards your first intentional grounding video/example. Rule 7-5-2 exception: 2C states, the passer is the only player to possess the ball after the snap ends is the only player who can intentional throw into an area not occupied by an eligible receiver. I believe the video illustrated a double handoff which make it illegal for grounding.

Brian, I don't usually say much on these, but on your IDP at 11:34, the lineman are on the 30 when the pass is released. If I am seeing this correctly, the LOS is the 31. I don't think this should be a foul for Ineligible downfield on a pass. Just one man's opinion. Your information about the clock was spot on.

I don’t see how you arrived at a no call on the first aiding the runner clip. (-24 min. Mark) it appears that #8 clearly puts both hands on the back of the QB and begins to push. Seems text book aiding. What am I missing?

Watching from NY. Thank you for making this informative video.

Good Video. Thanks!

Thank You Brian for all your help! Have A Nice Day! John "Dino" Decolati

Thank you Brian

Another good and informative video! Great job and please continue to share, it’s a great tool if your trying to get better as an official

08:00 Great call and recognition of the helmet coming off the ball carrier. I hope the they also talked to him about continuing to play without a helmet as you could do illegal participation. 08:55 I disagree with you on this play as I have both RB pushing on the QB assisting in forward movement of the QB. However, I defer to your state's interpretation of aiding the runner.

At 14:46, it looks like the defender (white) is making a play for the ball with his left hand, not the offense (red). Red receiver continues to drive forward. This looks like OPI to me, if anything. Not DPI as mentioned in the video. Curious if I am missing something. Thanks Brian for these videos, love watching.

At 20:10 in the film, the deep wing has to be focused on the tackle, sideline, and potential fumble. The opposite deep wing or the near LOS should pick up this BSB. I do not think the near deep wing can be expected to get a BSB and miss a potential fumble. It should be a foul but others need to see it.

These training videos are so good, I let the ads run. Thanks for all you do, cheers from Virginia!

Great stuff, really appreciate the extensive breakdown! For the potential BSB 20:50, a way I like to think of it is: the blocker's arms are like the suspension on an old car. If the car bottoms out going over a bump, sure the suspension might have been engaged, but the force was transferred directly from the body of the car (helmet/shoulder of the blocker) to the ground (player being blocked). If the suspension gives, but takes most of the force of the bump, we're fine, no harm done.

Thank you so much for posting these each week and each year! I am a newer official who has learned a bunch from your videos! I have a question about the blindside block @20:44. The definition of a blindside block established by the committee is “a block against an opponent other than the runner, who does not see the blocker approaching,” and now results in a 15-yard penalty. The committee also states that the blindside block “involves contact by a blocker against an opponent who, because of physical positioning and focus of concentration, is vulnerable to injury. Unless initiated with open hands, it is a foul for excessive and unnecessary contact when the block is forceful and outside of the free-blocking zone.” Given the above information, I do feel this action by the blocker would warrant a blindside block so long as the defender did not see the blocker approaching. Thoughts? Thank you!

Thank you Brian, great stuff as the season starts

Play #2, (7:00 -ish) that LT is also off the LOS. He's almost even with the FB. Could have had Illegal Formation also.

21:37 the lineman peeling back for the blindside block; I believe the linesman got it. I think the 3rd replay the film goes far enough to show him chunk a flag that direction👍🏽 And thanks for posting these, I wait to see them each week!!

At about 5:53 in the clip, it was mentioned that there cannot be Roughing the Kicker on the quick kick because team K was not in a scrimmage kick formation? Technically, there still can be roughing the kicker. There can be no roughing the snapper, but there still can be roughing the kicker. Please confirm or deny.

R's contact/block with K was first inbounds and forced OOB. Not enough to flag for PF from my angle. Enforcement spot was end of the kick. Should have been enforced end of the RUN. (ALL P/F enforced as dead ball fouls)

What focal length is being used for this?

Emphasizing clock awareness and good clock mechanics, aside from proper forward progress spots, what could be more crucial to the purity of the game than that? Everything else is judgement.

Thank you for doing these training videos, Brian. Much appreciated even in Nebraska. I will comment on the holding call (play begins at the 10:55 mark). You voiced support for the call. Though our view from the bird's nest video is limited, I wonder if the defender's own momentum caused him to stumble. There was very little initial engagement, I don't see any significant turning of the the defender's shoulders, and he did not go all the way to the ground as I think he would have if illegally grabbed and thrown.. In the reality of the game, that center needs to get the hands of the defender off in order to execute the screen blocking. I feel this flag was unmerited. Curious of others' impressions. No, I am not a former offensive lineman. :)

Great job. Love your analysis. Makes is all better

I love these videos and training aids.... I'm not a western Pa guy (District 11) but nonetheless they're great and educational.

Play two looks like it could be an illegal shift. The QB goes in motion just after the TE puts his hand down to get set. Not sure he was quite set when the QB was in motion.

On the touchdown play with the dead ball foul, even if it had been a live ball foul and A scored, A has options to enforce on the the try or succeeding kickoff under 8-2-2.

On goal line mechanics does the short wing have the outside guy of the formation and does trips change the key? I believe Brian said in the video that the short wing had the 2 inside guys. Just a clarification.

At the 22:00 play you’re talking about the RB passing the ball forward to the QB…. Are you saying this is illegal? They are behind the LOS and it is the first pass during the down… by my understanding, legal. Please elaborate

Thanks for doing this video Brian, gives us a lot of things to think about heading into the season

Out of curiosity, why is the home team wearing white?

Around 20:13 on your video for that touchdown, you noted another 2/3 seconds went off. Is that still on the Field Judge to check the clock when they are motioning for the TD but in addition to that, they are trying to clear the play and no extra curricular action. Or does it fall on one of the other officials to assist during that play to get that time right? I know you have the side judge to assist you on clearing the play so the right answer is probably to let him clear that why you are watching the clock

Glad to see you back! I’ll be waiting for the next training video to drop, and thank you for making them👍🏽

Happy to see you back for another season!
