Forward Passes Legal Except When:(Rule 7-5-2) • Pass After Team Possession Has Changed During a Down • Pass From Beyond the Neutral Zone • Pass Intentionally Thrown into an Area not Occupied by an Eligible Offensive Player • Pass Intentionally Thrown Incomplete to Save Loss of Yardage or to Conserve Time (Exception: Grounded After a Hand-to-Hand Snap) • A Second or Subsequent Forward Pass Thrown During a Down

  4. PASS INTERFERENCE RESTRICTIONS IN EFFECT(Rule 7-5-8) • For all A and B Players until the ball is touched or the pass is incomplete. • Restrictions for A begin at the snap. • Restrictions for B begin when the ball leaves the passer’s hand.

  5. PASS INTERFERENCE RESTRICTIONS END(Rule 7-5-9) • For all A players , when B touches a legal forward pass; • For all eligible A players when A touches a legal forward pass. Ineligible A players may not touch pass can legally block to ward off an opponent; • For all B players when legal forward pass touched by A or B.

  6. FOWARD PASS INTERFERENCEOCCURS IF:(7-5-10) • Any A or B player who is beyond the neutral zone interferes with an eligible opponent’s opportunity to move toward, catch or bat the pass. • Any player hinders an opponent’s vision without making an attempt to catch, intercept or bat the ball, even though no contact was made. • May have “intentional” pass interference (15 yard tack on).

  7. ELIGIBLE PASS RECEIVERS • All A players eligible by legal position and number at the snap (legally on the end of the line or in the backfield - total of 6 and numbered 1-49 or 80-99). • All A players when B touches the ball. • All B players. • Players eligible at start of down remain eligible through out the down.

  8. NOT FORWARD PASSINTERFERENCE IF:(7-5-11) • Unavoidable contact occurs when two or more eligibles are making a simultaneous, bona fide attempt to move toward, catch or bat the pass. • Contact by A is immediately made on a team B lineman and the contact does not continue beyond the expanded neutral zone. • Contact by B is obviously away from the pass.

  9. HIGH PROBABILITY FORPASS INTERFERENCE • When a defender gets beat and is in a chase mode (DPI) • When a defender bites on a fake (DPI) • When A is on the 5 yard line and in (OPI)

  10. CATEGORIES of DEFENSIVE PASS INTERFERENCE • ARM BAR – Arm across the body restricting the opponent’s movement. • HOLD – Grabbing an opponent preventing him from reaching the pass. • NOT PLAYING THE BALL – Not making a bona fide effort to reach the pass. • PLAYING THROUGH THE BACK – Contacting an opponent through the back even when making an effort to get to the pass. • HOOK AND TURN – Hooking the arm around the waist or shoulders and turning the opponent while attempting to get to the pass. • CUT-OFF – Restrict or prevent an opponent from moving toward a pass.

  11. CATEGORIES ofOFFENSIVE PASS INTERFERENCE • BLOCKING DOWNFIELD – Blocking an eligible A receiver before the pass has been touched (Picks). • CREATING SEPERATION – Pushing off and creating a separation advantage (Most common). • DRIVING TOWARD DEFENDER WHO HAS POSITION.

  12. PASS INTERFERENCE MISCONCEPTIONS • Legal forward pass must be “catchable” to have pass interference. (NFHS not required) • Must have “contact” to have pass interference. (Face guarding) • Touching of a pass by an ineligible beyond the neutral zone is offensive pass interference. (Illegal Touching)
