Illegal Leg Whip?  

5 members have voted

  1. 1. After watching the attached video, do you think the Defensive End used an illegal leg whip to stop the forward progress of the ball carrier?

    • Yes. Definitely a Leg Whip. The back of the Defensive End's base whips around and knocks the ball carrier backwards.

    • No. Incidental contact. The Defensive End is being hit by blocks from three different directions. Hitting the ball carrier was accidental.

Well, in my weirdness,

It wouldn't count as anything as I play any touch tackle. He made contact with one of the opposing teammates before the alleged penalty in question so he would be down at that point. Thus, I voted no leg whip.

Even though, I play pro-offense, any discrepancies are awarded to the home team's favor if a clear decision can't be made. Not being much help here, it is ultimately your call, sorry.

Blessings, 🙂

If it occurred in my solitaire league, it would be a legal tackle, as I also count any touch as a tackle.  My reasoning is that you do see players sometimes get blocked into a ball carrier and end up with a tackle.  Not sure what rules you use for tackling, but it looked to me like he was blocked into the ball carrier anyway, so no leg whip in my opinion... 🙂
