Screen Pass
I'm trying to formulate a way to get my receivers open. So I'm trying to come up with the concept of a screen pass.
I want my WR to be facing back into the backfield so that when the board is turned on, he will run back toward the QB. The board will be stopped and pass thrown (sticks or TTQB).
Now, here's my question. The rules say that the receiver can't be pivoted after the catch. Is there a difference in interpretation of the rule if the pass is behind the LOS? In other words, after the catch is made in the backfield, I want to be able to pivot my receiver to run upfield after the catch. Otherwise, I'm left with a reciver who catches the ball and runs toward the opposite EZ.
It just seems that there is no provision for this type play in the rules.
