4th Down Throw To Drake, Should It Have Been Ruled A Catch?

[TronMan]

What do you think? It should have at least been booth reviewed since it was after the 2 min warning.

It was not a catch.

I thought it was pretty clear that he never got the second foot in. That was really poor foot work as he had a ton of room, but I guess that's why he's a RB so can't be mad.

The throw was late by Tannehill as he was scrambling and picked Drake up late.

Those frames make it look like a catch.

Looking at the picture it looks like he catches it with his left foot down, then gets the right foot in just before going out of bounds.

No catch for sure. Good throw and a learning opportunity for Drake.

Hard to tell with 2 snap shots. It didn't look like a catch on the brief replays we were shown. Did he have possession the whole time or did it bobble at first?

still hated the play...was yelling "take the points, take the points"

I think the play was Ryan to run but since it was taken away he had to improvise.

I didnt realize he had the ball before that 2nd foot came up..so it looks like a catch there, but i cant see the refs overturning without the benefit of some serious time to analyze it.

I didn't see any bobbling.

Thanks for posting, I wondered the same when I first saw it. It looked like he may have briefly had the left foot down when he initially gets the ball and then as he heads out he gets the right foot.

I thought it might have been a catch at the time...but I don't think it would have been overturned. What baffles me is that Drake didn't HAVE to make the move he made. He could have easily just landed with the ball and *fallen down,* Hartline-style. First down.

It was not a catch.

Honestly it was a great play call -- I think we need to run the boot more on 3rd or 4th and short -- and Tannehill executed it well. Kenyan Drake just didn't realize he was that close to the sideline and didn't get his feet down. It sucks, but he'll learn from it.
