SVP just proved it.
ref needs either glasses or a hearing aid.
Ref is saying 70 reported
70 said he didn't say a thing
68 said he reported
So the players did what they are supposed to do. The ref needs glasses or a hearing aid or probably both.
He didn't prove ***** You're trusting the word of Skipper the Tripper on this one?
58, 68, and 70 all approached the official to apparently report a single player as eligible. A player who made no clear sign (don't give me the bull**** about the "hand signal" that didn't make it above his waist) to indicate he was the one of the 3 that reported.
The ref gives a nod to 70, and then tells the defense 70 is eligible. Which means 68 is ineligible, because part of becoming eligible is relaying the information to the defense.
Perhaps the ref should've spent another couple seconds to confirm who was eligible. Just as much fault can be placed on 58/70 for making the report confusing. Your talking heads keep saying "what is 68 doing approaching the official if not to report?" If that's the case, same question for 58 and 70. If "approaching the official" is evidence of reporting, then 58 and 70 have reported as well, and 70 is lined up in the core of the offensive line, which isn't permitted.
I can tell you the one outcome that would've absolutely been incorrect though, is the 2 pt conversion being allowed to stand, because, again, if the defense hasn't been notified 68 is eligible, he isn't.
