As long as defender does not use a player as a leaping board or land on another teams player it is a legal play to jump over. He didn't touch anyone therefore no flag
...as opposed to the FG attempt last night in the MNF game between the Bills and Seahawks where Richard Sherman clearly made no effort to block the ball and simply çrashed into the kicker's plant foot.
Can't post video but it's the focus of discussion for those who watch NFL; bitch about officiating (horribly inept), gamble on sports (game fell 6, line 6-) or feel as if it's inching closer and closer to professional rasslin' as an entertainment business.
*and
thisSherman regularly discusses the league and its failures most recently pointing out the lack of concern for player safety.
also: His defense is that he plays until the whistle blows which is a valid defense.
