Nope you are allowed to push them out of bounds they changed that rule !
If he has the ball and he's in the air you can push him out before both feet hit the ground, you can't just push them out of bounds while the ball is in the air, that's still pass interference

How could you possibly be critical of Spielman when we have 4 rookies contributing in a big way? And could he have predicted Childs blowing up both knees?
The question was about WRs. Learn to read. Who knows what Childs will be like. How you liking Simpson and Carlson so far?

The rule allows a defender to push a receiver OOB without it being pass interference?
You can force the receiver out. You can't interfere, but it's quick and possible it won't be a PI call. I'd rather them do that than give up a TD, especially if the defender can't get his head around.

Not necessarily. What makes you think it's automatic pass interference?
It probably depends on where the ball is but at the very least it would be an illegal contact penalty unless the QB was out of the pocket. I think the illegal contact rule specifies that the QB has to be in the pocket.

That was my point. I didn't see the play so maybe I misunderstood Edward. If so, I apologize. I thought he was saying the defender should push the receiver OOB before the catch.
