Pass Block and Shadowing

I know it isn't likely to ever happen in a game, but what happens if you move a lineman with shadowing 6 squares to a PB'er, and then throw the ball with another player. Can the lineman shadow the PB'er, even after he used all his movement?

I say yes. There is nothing in Shadowing that says the number of squares you move is bounded by your movement anyway, while Pass Block says all the usual stuff about movement is applied (like Dodging).

Legally yes, but I really dislike the ability to move twice in your own turn.

I wouldn't considor it to be moving twice. I would like to imagine the shadowing player is clinging onto the back of the pass blockers shirt, and is being dragged along until he can tackle the pass blocker.

Quite an amusing image really :lol: :lol: :lol: .

I really think that every «skill interaction» should be limited to a level... that is: you cann't go for ever in this skill and counter skill... or we can end making very looong turns.... :lol:

So, as a general rule I would like to see that you cann't counter a opponent skill in your turn - let's see:

Damp Off couldn't be Pass Blocked,

Pass Blocker coudn't be Shadow


Well, I don't see more of these skills... what it's good because my english finished with the above «sentences»....
