I thought that could have been reviewed and called a tuck.

however, i think that rule is a bunch of shit.

I was wondering about that and was curious: why wasn't that considered part of the tuck rule? Does anyone know? My first guess is that he was trying to run and it wasn't a part of a sack. But I'm really just speculating?

His arm wasn't moving forward anymore. He wasn't in the process of tucking the ball when he lost it. He had already brought it back in but still held it loosely away from his body. Being that he had time to tuck it in tight yet failed to do so I agree with the way it was called. That was a clear fumble IMO.

He was still in the process of tucking, just like Cal Johnson was still in the process of going to the ground.
