To start with, link to the article: http://http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000922415/article/catch-rule-recommendations-revealed-ahead-of-vote
From the article:
So, I still see some points of confusion to me.
a> 'control of the ball.' As defined as... what? It seems to me that if a guy catches the ball, gets 2 feet down or other body part (as in step 2), he has control of it. Maybe it bobbles a bit here and there but if it doesn't pop out and hit the ground before the receiver hit's the ground, it's control. Or maybe not, maybe it's something else.
b> '...Or the ability to perform such an act.' (from previous 'Reaching/extending for the line-to-gain'). Sorry, I got nothing on this...

1. Control of the ball.
2. Two feet down or another body part.
3. A football move such as:
» A third step;
» Reaching/extending for the line-to-gain;
» Or the ability to perform such an act.
