First question. How is a block in the back downfield assessed? I’m asking in particular if it occurs downfield when the play is well beyond the first down marker? I thought it was a spot foul, but in our game the refs moved the ball back from the original line of scrimmage and we replayed the down.
Second Question. When an offensive lineman puts his hand in the dirt, is there any way to come “un set”? Or do they have to stay perfectly still until the play is started?
