Why wouldn't it just be a fumble that goes forwards can't be advanced? Rule really makes no sense.


How many times have you seen it actually come into play in a situation like this? They'll probably look at this play and alter it in the offseason.

i had no idea what he was trying to say until someone said lateral lol


I'm glad you figured it out, I've been saying it for years never knowing any wrong....image how many times I've been the butt of jokes lol

Also, I knew this thread was going to be bad when I tried to google Ladder Roll rules and all that came up were literal ladder rollers at like Home Depot ect.

Yeah, they'll probably alter to be able to be returned to the spot of the fumble. I'm not so sure Lacy completely got the ball out of the endzone anyways, they didn't look at it since it didn't.

I don't know why people don't know of this rule, we've seen it a few times this season already.

The rule has been in place since the 1978 season ended.


OP look up Holy Roller if you want to see why the rule was put in place.

True, but given forward ladder roll, I'm assuming the video isn't enough to make him understand.
