Let me clear up the illegal forward pass last night. It was forward and illegal since it was beyond the line. It was caught so the play remains alive. The fouls is 5 yards from the spot of the foul and loss of down which I think would have forced a punt. Forward or backward is judged by where the ball is when it leaves the passers hand to where it first touched the ground or a player.
Forget that Wilson tried to throw it backwards. Lateral pass. History Talk 0. San Antonio Express News.

Officials Penalty flag Chain crew. Categories American football plays. Laterals must always be backwards and if ball touches ground it is considered a fumble and therefore either team can gain possession.
Note: If player on Team A laterals and ball touches ground any player from Team B can advance ball for advantage but only the Team A player who made missed lateral can advance for advantage. Laterals are more risky because of the nature of the rules.
There's no incomplete lateral, the ball hits the ground it is a fumble. Pass interference rules don't apply, so the defender could hit the person trying to catch a lateral before the ball arrives. A player attempting a forward pass has more protection than someone attempting a lateral because they've declared themselves as a runner.
You're no longer considered to be in a defenseless position. In college, most triple option teams those that lateral a lot tend to lead the NCAA in rushing each season. Also, if you designate players to be behind the ball carrier, they're no longer blocking. It can be difficult to make the right choice and accurate lateral in a freelancing situation.
I definitely wouldn't recommend it when running into the line because having so many defenders there, it is easier to disrupt the play from many angles. I am not in much agreement with the answers you have gotten. I think there are three main issues with implementing laterals in the NFL.
These are not NBA players. Some have trouble catching the ball let alone throwing it. Their strong suits are running and strength not hands skills. This could be improved greatly from practice as I have implemented plays with lateraling at the youth level - and after a while it does become natural.
But now that the NFL has strict guidelines on practice you would never see this implemented as a weapon other than your trick play variety. From an offensive perspective the lateral puts the defense at an advantage. Now ball carrier has their guy to beat and possibly another and at the very least has to make a decision. For this decision making process to happen fast it takes tons and tons of practice.
I have coached every option imaginable from triple wing option to your run of the mill spread read option and the first few weeks of implementation are brutal. And then the biggest reason we won't see it much in the NFL - speed. The NFL players are just too fast. They cover too much space. Their speed vs. This goes along with why guys like Jay Cutler get paid a lot of money.
He's not the smartest QB but GMs know the speed at which he throws the ball gives their offense an advantage in a very fast game.
