How is that not DPI? Textbook case of a defender not allowing offensive player to get back to the ball by running through him while not turning to look for the ball.

I don't. Rewards players for getting smoked and having bad technique.

It makes the QB have to throw the ball better. Don't under throw and the defender wouldn't have been in the way.

His technique was fine; shadowed the receiver and got his hands up when the receiver turned around. He didn't hold or do anything to give himself an unfair advantage.

 

I think it IS an unfair advantage for the offense if the QB can simply underthrow a ball and draw a penalty from it.

 

If there's any bad technique on that play, it's with the throw. Put that out in front of your receiver and let him make a legit play.

Doesn't matter. The WR has a right to go for the ball. The defender is supposed to play the ball not the man. As he isn't even looking at the ball, that's clearly DPI, regardless of the machinations you want to go thru to try and make it not his fault.

Was it? The dude was beaten and running into the body of the receiver without looking for the ball. If you don't look for the ball and run into the receiver it's DPI.

That's a bad interpretation of the rule and it gives the offense an unfair advantage. Technically, the defender is making a play on the ball by putting his hands up. He's not putting hands on the receiver. The receiver is running into the defender, not the other way around.

 

NFL refs will tell you they consider the momentum of the player as well. Yes, the GB receiver turned around, but his momentum was still taking him down field. If the receiver had actually changed momentum to come back for the ball and the defender STILL ran through him, then it would surely be DPI.

Ultimately, the spirit of the rules is to prevent an unfair advantage. It's something I always harp on when talking about NFL rules because they often are so vague.

 

Refs should be asking themselves "who has the unfair advantage here" and making (or not making) the call based on that.

   Preseason, a bunch were rooting for Mayfield.

   I was in the other group and he and the Panthers are a disaster. There are rumors saying Rhule and McAdoo are not on the same page. Talk of Darnold being in consideration if he ever gets back.

   The Panther’s are going to get crushed today and Rhule may be gone before the month is out.

    Mayfield will be a backup starting next year….if he can stomach the role.
