ballcarriers trip over feet and legs millions of times. this is the only time i've seen it called I wouldn't be surprised to see the next call "tackling...#24 on the Jets...15 yard penalty...automatic first down...go colts"
The tripping didn't offend me. It was a first down anyway. What offended me was watching Joseph Addai rip off a touchdown like the entire Jets defense had run up into the stands for hotdogs.
That ball definitely slipped out...on the plus side the fact that Sanchez went directly to the ref suggests that he knew he had a free play.
The pick called back may be a blessing in disguise; It'll cause Schotty to be more cautious in calling pass plays (more importantly, which one he calls) and was a sort of warning for Sanchez to not screw up.
