Pass Interference


jets

Question

Is there pass interference BEHIND the line-of-scrimmage?? To my understanding, or what I have always known - is that behind the line-of-scrimmage, there is NO PI?? Meaning, a Defensive Lineman or Linebacker reads a screen, he has free reign to grab at the RB. Is this correct??

Agreed, grabbing and restricting a pass receiver behind the line is holding.

Ok just so I’m clear- there is holding behind the line-of-scrimmage. But if the ball is thrown and in the air, and our LB just hits the intended WR or RB who is waiting on a screen- then no foul??

Yes, as long as the hit doesn’t rise to the level of a personal foul. Remember, a receiver waiting on a forward pass is a defenseless player, by definition.

Meaning he can “block” him not tackle him without the ball. Not hit high or with the helmet but can push him down or out of the way
