Rusty,Well if you have to declare actions then would you not have to declare to pick the ball along with the pass action?? So then you couldnt have your player who used up the re-roll on his dodge not pick up the ball. Or am I totally wrong here???
Picking up the ball is not a declared action.
So I could declare a Pass Action ... fail the dodge and use my team reroll then have the thrower just go adjacent to the ball.
Have my catcher run in and pick up the ball and run it into the back field for protection with the plan of handing off to the player who was going to Pass on my next turn.
LRB rules you only have to declare the following:
Blitz, Foul, Pass, Hand-Off
That's it ... nothing else needs declared.
If you play with the Kicking rules, then add Kick
If you play with On-Pitch Spellcasters, then add Cast
