A player's being "haunched" as a "clear indicator" is totally unfounded. The rules say nothing about which player actions constitute "clear indicators" of "going to the ground." The NFL has never used that language in its rules or in its adjudications ofthree-step catches.

Do what you're told and shut up: The american dream.

"Generally (at least from what I have heard and seen) they will be used for a SWAT team to bust into a house that would otherwise be dangerous to approach."
