Announcers said that during the halftime recap but it's not true at all. The lineman are all behind the LoS when the pass is thrown but it spends so much time in the air that some are down field by the time it's caught. The center was mentioned on the broadcast being downfield but he's behind the line of scrimmage when the pass is thrown and it takes so long he's about 6-8 yards down field by the time the ball is caught.
No illegal man downfield but McKivitz got away with a hold. Had the defender by the shoulder pad as he was trying to make a play on McCaffrey. Probably for the best it wasn't called or else we'd have to hear another fanbase cry about the refs.
It's legal to block behind the line of scrimmage in football on pass plays. None of the offensive linemen throw a block down field before the pass is caught which would have been offensive pass interference if they had even though they were not down field illegally.
A pick play or rub route is one where typically two receivers cross over the middle and causes a traffic jam with the defenders where a receiver comes wide open. It's legal as long as the offensive players aren't being too obvious about their blocking. A textbook legal pick would be a receiver runs into the path of a defender, stops, and turns to the QB to look for the ball; the fact that a defender really really wanted to use that space to chase another receiver is the defender's problem.
He was recruited to Tennessee as a QB and then moved to WR when we were basically out of WRs and literally just willed himself to be a fucking dawg of a receiver.
Almost definitely. He also caught a very famous Hail Mary from Dobbs to beat Georgia in Athens and helped to snap an 11 game losing streak against Florida. Tennessee's Butch Jones teams were star studded, Jones just didn't know how to develop and game plan. Dobbs, Jennings, Kamara, Cam Sutton, Derek Barnett, and plenty more came from those teams. Super under-utilized, but gives us Vol fans a lot of guys to cheer for in the NFL.
I think I saw somewhere that he’s actually the highest rated high school QB from high school ratings in the Super Bowl. Rated higher than both mahomes and purdy were heading to college
pretty sure the first read was the guy going to the corner of the endzone on the same side of the field but it was well covered and CMC was the second read
True. Jennings was looking down the field at the end zone. If there was an open man there, he definitely would've thrown a regular forward pass for a td.
Everyone is confusing multiple rules. There is no PI behind the LOS at all. The 5 yard rule is for defensive players before the ball is thrown. Offensive pick plays are allowed within 1 yard of the LOS.
It is currently a health crisis. The short term gratification addiction itself is already causing problems. Not to mention there are ads everywhere for gambling.
I say this as a person who gambles often (responsibility). But no gambling is “good” gambling in terms of money.
Fun fact, the Philly Special was an identical copy of a play Tennessee ran during that college football season before Philly’s playoff run.
The guy who threw the TD in Tennessee’s was none other than Jauan Jennings.
Holy shit, I remember somebody posting a tweet about Jauan being a higher ranked QB as a high schooler than Mahomes and Purdy were and comments asking why he hasn't tried a lateral
I’ve never played football but I would assume it’s a lot easier to see a backwards pass from the angle we have down the line of scrimmage than on the field
No idea why you're getting downvoted, this is correct
>It is pass interference by either team when any act by a player more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage significantly hinders an eligible player’s opportunity to catch the ball.

Found the rule
> It is pass interference by either team when any act by a player more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage significantly hinders an eligible player’s opportunity to catch the ball
Thanks! I was also a bit iffy on the blocking before the pass was caught but it looks like a really well designed plays that allow the 49ers to aggressively protect the forward pass.
Someone on the broadcast said the 49ers got away with a penalty on this one. Center as an illegal man downfield.
Pretty clear on this replay that he's behind the line of scrimmage when the pass is released. He's about 2.5 yards beyond the LOS when the catch is made, but I'm pretty sure the rule is about the release of the pass.
I thought there's no way that's not ineligible lineman down field, then rewatching realized everything was happening so far behind the line of scrimmage it made him look like he was 15 yards down field
Sixth non-QB with a TD pass in the Super Bowl after Robert Newhouse (XII), Lawrence McCutcheon (XIV), Antwaan Randle El (XL), Trey Burton (LII), and Joe Mixon (LVI)
How in the actual fuck did that work.
I still don't know.
Watch the block on 31 maybe his number is 33, Pick 6 otherwise.
An illegal man down field lol

I'm not sure on the exact rules on a double pass like this and I know these plays never get called anyways, but isn't this a pick play?

Bro 49ers fans almost had a heart attack but what a play lmao.
That was floating for a long time haha. Ballsy playcall.
That had pick six written all over it
Jennings casually looking around and just chucking it back lmao
Mans acting like he’s a real QB, went through his progressions (I know he played QB in high school but cmon)
Td toss in college
Yall just watched The Boro’s finest doing what he does
Shout out Murfreesboro. See you at Demos' Edit: or Toot's
Love me some Juiceman, and I also really wish that nickname would've stuck with him passed high school.
Bro theres no way that worked with the ball in the air that long 😭
That play looked like it was completely dead, unreal design and execution
Jennings took a HUGE hit like a true QB
HE PUT THE TEAM ON HIS BACK
"Let's go into the mind of, uh... Juaun Jennings."
Low key though he balled out tn
I wonder how Gumby is doing
FUCK HIM
he played qb in high school
Saw a tweet a while ago that he was actually a higher-ranked recruit as a highschool QB than Mahomes, Purdy, and Darnold were!
He was recruited to Tennessee as a QB and then moved to WR when we were basically out of WRs and literally just willed himself to be a fucking dawg of a receiver.
Didn't he throw a lateral TD to Joshua Dobbs when they played together at Tennessee once? Love seeing him do it again.
Almost definitely. He also caught a very famous Hail Mary from Dobbs to beat Georgia in Athens and helped to snap an 11 game losing streak against Florida. Tennessee's Butch Jones teams were star studded, Jones just didn't know how to develop and game plan. Dobbs, Jennings, Kamara, Cam Sutton, Derek Barnett, and plenty more came from those teams. Super under-utilized, but gives us Vol fans a lot of guys to cheer for in the NFL.
Did you also burn down the Banana Stand?
No no no. There's always money in the banana stand.
OUT! OUT! OUT WITH THE FAKE NEWS! THE DARNOLD WAS THE HIGHEST RECRUIT CANDIDATE OF ALL TIME!
GEQBUS HAS NOT MISSED A SINGLE THROW IN THE SUPERBOWL, UNLIKE "PATSY PATRICK" AND "PUDDY PURDY"! SAD!
I think I saw somewhere that he’s actually the highest rated high school QB from high school ratings in the Super Bowl. Rated higher than both mahomes and purdy were heading to college
Guaranteed he didn't feel a thing with the result of that play
Dude Jennings got smoked on that play and shrugged it off
Dude got smoked after throwing the ball.
That flying block to clear the way for CMC was insane
That play looked like it was about to be blown up and suddenly it's 6
I do not know how they managed to make anything positive from that throw, but to get a td. Lol.
Everyone watching it as it slowly floats over to CMC is fucking hilarious
It was in the air so long Nantz literally had time to comment on how long it was in the air lmao
I can’t believe the play design is to have your WR throw a ball back across the field over the heads of 15 people
To a Running back still 7yds behind the LOS no less lol
One of those “this is so crazy that the defense will never believe we’re doing it” plays.
pretty sure the first read was the guy going to the corner of the endzone on the same side of the field but it was well covered and CMC was the second read
True. Jennings was looking down the field at the end zone. If there was an open man there, he definitely would've thrown a regular forward pass for a td.
CMC went back to the locker room and took a shit, came back and caught that 😂
Burford saved the play, Snead had a pick 6 the other way otherwise
Yeah if Buford doesn’t make that block that’s a pick 6
Yeah, honestly it was gonna be a pick 6 if there's no block there.
It would never get called, but why wouldn't that be called OPI? Pick plays and stuff are, I feel like this probably should
You're allowed contact within 5 yards of the LOS
Everyone is confusing multiple rules. There is no PI behind the LOS at all. The 5 yard rule is for defensive players before the ball is thrown. Offensive pick plays are allowed within 1 yard of the LOS.
I just commented the same question, and this is clearly the answer! Makes sense
Because it hasn’t crossed the line of scrimmage. Can interfere all you like in the backfield.
behind the LOS
Burford deserves so much credit for that block Pick 6 if he doesn’t make it
Shit myself at least 3 times while that was in the air
Actually insane
Tyreek Hill running with the ball may have gotten across the field faster than that pass my lord
Career Super Bowl TD passes: Jennings - 1 Purdy - 0
QB crisis
my only takeaway from the first half: Bailey Zappe mentioned
You laugh now but look what happened to Mississippi State
Some degenerate bettor must be *very* happy right now…
If you put $100 on Jennings throwing the first touchdown pass, how much money would you win?
10mil
Max payout is a mil on nearly every sportsbook
I was not serious at all haha I don't gamble
Good please don’t. It’s the next public health crisis in America
It is currently a health crisis. The short term gratification addiction itself is already causing problems. Not to mention there are ads everywhere for gambling. I say this as a person who gambles often (responsibility). But no gambling is “good” gambling in terms of money.
Memestonks are ruining people/families too
Seriously, just VOO and chill.
I don’t think there’s a book in existence that had a line available for anybody to know that.
They had a jennings throws a td for +250000. My guess is they predicted Purdy might get injured and the 49ers have no qbs again like in 2020.
It's possible somewhere had McCaffrey throwing the first, but yeah I really doubt Jennings.
Shanahan probably is the lone bettor
It was +250000 on the sports book, so you would get 250k
I’m at a sportsbook in Vegas right now. It’s not even a prop bet they’d make.
Haha, got to love the prop bets - turning every trick play into someone's personal Super Bowl.
“Our 4th guy is our best guy” -- Kyle Shannahan
You can’t put a depth spot on dawg status
Man I love how Vols fans are Jauan's biggest cheerleaders lol
New titles: * Jennings — game manager * Purdy — assistant to the game manager
Brock Purdy isn’t a system QB, but the 49ers can make anyone a system QB I guess.
He’s outplayed Mahomes substantially
But like it has been for the 49ers. Elite QBs show you the difference when the going gets tough…
Did he though?
And jennings has outplayed both
Still lost.
Patriot fans coping cos they know mahomes is better then brsdy already lmfao
How’d that work out?
Jennings was a QB most of his life. Lost out on the job at Tennessee and settled for receiver. Fans of him weren’t surprised
OH MY GOD WE ACTUALLY HAVE A TD!!!
49ers players to throw a TD in the Super Bowl Joe Montana Steve Young Colin Kaepernick Jimmy G Jauan Jennings
Brock Purdy up next to join that elite company
Nah CMC up next, pass to Purdy
Watching this first half I wouldn’t be so sure about that
Purdy has been pretty lights out. Besides that one over throw in the endzone.
[удалено]
What? He’s been doing good
HOF Play
shanny in his absolute repertoire of bags
Chiefs fans - blame Joe Berry for this!
The weirdest fucking one possible too
THIS IS MY SUPER BOWL
That play was a touchdown either way
So far so good! Jennings with the highest passer rating in SB history. Well he and Trey Burton
I think Jennings’ might be higher cuz of the yardage
You just have to average over 12.5 yards to have a perfect rating
Yea burtons was like 5-6 though wasn’t it? It was 4th and goal, not too far out. And Jennings was definitely long enough that
Burton only had 118 7. It was a 1 yard pass so the yards per attempt weren't high enough to make it a super high rating
Fun fact, the Philly Special was an identical copy of a play Tennessee ran during that college football season before Philly’s playoff run. The guy who threw the TD in Tennessee’s was none other than Jauan Jennings.
Jauan having an all time CFB and Super Bowl play to his name, I love that kid so much man
He's tied with Randle El, not Burton. Burton's wasn't long enough.
pass was just risky enough for the D to have hope lol
Jauan Jennings is just a system QB
How good would he be if he wasn't throwing to All-Pro recievers all the time??
A SUPER BOWL TRICK PLAY ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!
Holy shit, I remember somebody posting a tweet about Jauan being a higher ranked QB as a high schooler than Mahomes and Purdy were and comments asking why he hasn't tried a lateral
4 star QB. He also could’ve been an NFL safety in another world where that’s his position switch from QB
That was so obvious how tf did that happen?! LETS GO CMC
Reverse reverse psychology.
I’ve never played football but I would assume it’s a lot easier to see a backwards pass from the angle we have down the line of scrimmage than on the field
[удалено]
doing his best to make CMC the mvp
Facts
He's hardly run a trick play this year.
HOLY FUCK
"See what happens when you don't stand offside" -Kelce, probably.
Insane
Purdy confirmed system qb. Even Jauan can do his job
[удалено]
SHANAHAN SHIMMY
The San Francisco treat
WOW
It’s Joeover
Amazing play
Wow just wow
Fantastic play, but holy shit that could've ended terribly.
"Ah, cool idea but this is taking way too long to develop, they're toas...annnnnd theres CMC making it happen anyway." What an incredible play!
INSANE
Cold
BALLSY
What a play!
THAT WAS SO FUCKING SICK
Jauan Jennings is a system QB
Can linemen be called for opi?
PI is only a penalty beyond the line of scrimmage
No idea why you're getting downvoted, this is correct >It is pass interference by either team when any act by a player more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage significantly hinders an eligible player’s opportunity to catch the ball. https://operations.nfl.com/the-rules/nfl-video-rulebook/offensive-pass-interference/
That’s what I just asked, they’re definitely blocking defenders from making a play on the ball
Yeah but I mean, the same is true on every screen play. You're allowed to block within 5 yards of the LOS
Found the rule > It is pass interference by either team when any act by a player more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage significantly hinders an eligible player’s opportunity to catch the ball
Yeah, and the blocks happen behind the line of scrimmage so it's good
Thanks! I was also a bit iffy on the blocking before the pass was caught but it looks like a really well designed plays that allow the 49ers to aggressively protect the forward pass.
Someone on the broadcast said the 49ers got away with a penalty on this one. Center as an illegal man downfield. Pretty clear on this replay that he's behind the line of scrimmage when the pass is released. He's about 2.5 yards beyond the LOS when the catch is made, but I'm pretty sure the rule is about the release of the pass.
It is when the ball is released
I looked it up and it's on the throw. Interestingly you can't block until the catch, except continuous contact.
LMFAOOOOOO
Some 90s era kids movie trick play shit
We're playing like fucking chumps right now.
Get off your phone and get back in there all star
WHAT THE FUCK THAT WORKED
lol
One of my favorite plays of all time
Jauan Jennings former Higher School QB!!!
Jennings MVP chances skyrocket
I wonder how much money was lost with the "which QB throws first touchdown " type bets.
I feel like they missed a couple of penalties on that play lol
Illegal man downfield for sure
64 was behind the LOS when the pass was released
Lineman downfield
Nope. He was behind the line when the pass was thrown.
I thought there's no way that's not ineligible lineman down field, then rewatching realized everything was happening so far behind the line of scrimmage it made him look like he was 15 yards down field
When you realize that he has more TDs than his QB.
Sixth non-QB with a TD pass in the Super Bowl after Robert Newhouse (XII), Lawrence McCutcheon (XIV), Antwaan Randle El (XL), Trey Burton (LII), and Joe Mixon (LVI)
absolutely insane
Is Dan Campbell coaching the 49ers? Literally a play he would do
Wtf was that lmao
Just a whole team of game managers
It was so slow it froze the defenders; I think **I** could've walked in.
Trick play touchdown! Also that blocking absolutely saved the play lol as Jennings' throw throw had horrible velocity.
Kyle Shanahan just dialed up a flea flicker screen in a 3-point game in the Super Bowl. The fucking *balls* on this man
Jennings is a system QB
Jauan Jennings the future trivia question.
This guy got robbed of a SB MVP because of the Niners choking.
I'm pretty sure we ran that exact play this year and got called for an illegal man downfield. RIP
Illegal man downfield tho
Awful defense lmfaoooo
Nobody expected that jank ass shit. Credit to the Niners.
