Leverage??????

What is it?

Someone was charged with a 10 yard Leverage penalty last night during the Raiders game. I dont remember the specifics, as I was enjoying some adult beverages at the time.

Does anyone remember seeing this and, if so, can tell me what the heck it is?

yea, i saw it. I'm pretty sure it's when someone uses another player as leverage to get higher up to block a field goal.

It was on an extra point. Has to do with a player using another player to jump higher when trying to block a kick. Never heard it called leverage before, but that's what the call was.

I get stuck on a phone call before I can reply and Bigshot comes in with the goods.

Bigshot is 100% correct.
