[QUOTE="CEB, post: 967376, member: 4905"] I can agree with this… but the rule uses words like “fakes, simulates and initiates.” If this exact movement is made at the 20 yard line and a defender makes contact, it’s a flag 100% of the time. It would be beyond ridiculous to rule that he gave himself up with a slide in this scenario, but the rule as written, without the context of game scenario allows for it. That is more my point. The memo about the rule talks about avoiding contact / injury but the rule itself does not (unless there is more to the rule than what is posted). r. When a ball carrier obviously begins a feet-first slide. Any time a ball carrier simulates or fakes a feet-first slide, the ball should be declared dead by the on-field officials at that point. (A.R. 4-1-3-III and IV) I guess it could be argued that he didn’t “fake or simulate” since there was no defender in a position to be faked out? [/QUOTE]
