what's a sack? (1 Viewer)

[Roc Pile]

what is a sack exactly, because I have Atlanta D and twice (first waner then leinart) the qb's ran a play for minus yards i think waner for minus 5 and leinart something else. Shouldn;t the D get a sack for that?

a large bag of strong, coarsely woven material, as for grain, potatoes, or coal.

No.

The QB must drop back to pass. If he starts to run with the ball and never looks to pass, it is negative yardage run.

Paper or Plastic?

Officially yes, but this is the most ridiculous rule ever. What is the difference between a tackle for a 12-yard loss and a 2 yard sack? The sack's worth a million more dollars per year.I think all takedowns behind the line of scrimmage should be counted the same.

I know, I wasn't arguing with you, I was going off on a tangent since the question was already answered.

In that case, spiking the ball to stop the clock shouldn't be included with pass attempts.

I agree. And taking a knee shouldn't count as a rushing attempt.

Yup (according to SSOG's logic, anyway)

Not at all. I said that all TAKEDOWNS behind the line of scrimmage should be sacks. Takedowns = Tackles. Nobody gets tackled when you take a knee.

BTW-new definition of sack=Warner.
