The current rules are the current rules, but the fact that this isn’t a catch in today’s NFL feels a bit silly.
Well, did he drop it? No. So that means he caught it, right? Well, no. Why? Because the ball shifted in your hands a little bit when you hit the ground.
Ok.
It's this. 'The pass rush is bad' is reductive. They've got no hope of getting there the way the Falcons are being allowed to move the ball. #49ers #fttb
Michael Penix Jr., for example, is at only 5.9 yards per attempt — which is terrible in a vacuum (would rank #33 of 33 QBs). The Falcons are also at only 3.8 yards per carry.
But Atlanta hasn't needed to be more explosive because the there's been a floor of yardage to take for free. No giveaway danger.
The 49ers need to force the issue with coverage and/or pass rush or they'll just die a slow death today
