Found it:

The new 2024 rulebook, in two separate locations, redefines being out of the pocket.


From Rule 3, Section 25: “A player who is in possession of the ball is out of the pocket area, and the pocket area no longer exists, if any part of his body or the ball is outside of the pocket area.”

From Rule 8, Section 2, Item 1: “A passer is out of the pocket area if any part of his body or the ball is outside the pocket area.”

Yeah it's dumb.

If Tanner McLachlan wants to avoid the PS he has to show up right now. Receiver or blocker doesn't matter.

[Joelist]

And a DUMB pre snap penalty...

[Joelist]

Browning looks out of sync. Still taking too long to process the defense (but better) and a bit off on accuracy.

[*pally*]

Much better 2nd effort for Robbins

[*Synric*]

Robbins with distance and hang time on that punt... making it a battle... punter battle ugh.

[reuben.ahmed]

shows what a little pressure from a backup can do to your play, brad Robbins booming 53 yarder? since when?

Got fortunate and they are showing the game here. Observations thus far: Starters looked good. Running game looks meh. Browning is a check down Charlie. The secondary has given up a couple of catches but they look aggressive! Dax just missed a pick, barely, and Newton has one.

Yeah. Also Murphy got burned twice by the zebras - missed hold and missed grounding.

Yeah, but is it Browning or is it the 2nd and 3rd stringers

[*Synric*]

Ewww the new DTs are getting blown off the ball.

[Joelist]

[reuben.ahmed]

[*Synric*]

Damn it Dax it's not safety you have to get that head around quicker.

[reuben.ahmed]

[Joelist]

Yeah, tough to see. On one hand he had great positioning. Really good coverage. Just didn't convert it into a positive play.
