NFL considering 15 yard penalty for defensive pass interference

I wanna have a discussion about this. The spot foul is fine. If you go 15 yard penalty, everyone is going to just grab/hold a player. If you're close enough to incur a defensive pass interference, you weren't burned. This would really screw up plays. If you throw up a 40 yard bomb, you're gonna just tackle the guy because you're guaranteed to give up just 15 yards instead of 40 yards. This would be the end of 50/50 balls because the defender would deliberately arm bar or shove out of bounds or mug the dude. To battle this the NFL will add tiers of severity. This doesn't work, you all remember the 5 yard and 15 yard facemask stuff, right?

What do you think about the 15 yard defensive pass interference?

I think its fine. 15 yards and a 1st down is still no small thing to give an offense, so I don't buy into the notion that players are just going to hold every time there's a deep ball. Also some of the pass interference calls that net an offense 40+ yards can be bullshit, you go from punting the ball to being setup in the red zone over what are often questionable decisions.

Seems to work fine in college football. Honestly alot of new rules are tried in college then make their way to the NFL, the targeting rule should/will be next.

Targeting rule is bullshit, absolute bullshit. I've watched several players get ejected for clear legal hits with leading with shoulder. Ejecting a guy for playing FOOTBALL? I'm going to need more convincing to buy into that one.

The Seahawks players have said they deliberately hold and what not often because "refs can't call it every time, otherwise the game would last 6 hours long". Teams will abuse 15 yard defensive pass interference. It wouldn't be hard to do. Especially on under thrown balls or overthrown balls where the WR has the advantage.

I don’t like it. If a guy beats you deep, there would be no reason not to yank him down if all you give up is 15 yards. I don’t like it in college football either.

The LOS is your own 20, your WR runs deep, beating the DB, you throw a bomb on target that your WR is in line to catch on their 35 yard line....so the DB pushes your guy down. Instead of having the ball on THEIR 35, you have it on your own 35. A loss of 30 yards.
What DB won’t take that?

I disagree on the spot penalty, the rule book is slanted so hard in the offenses favor, that awarding them a spot penalty for interference is too much. 10 or 15 yards and a First down is plenty.

Or.. if it is offensive pass interference, the ball is spotted the same distance from the line of scrimmage in the opposite direction and loss of down. That is when it is actually called.

They need to eliminate pass interference altogether, stop adding more damn gray areas! Let men be men and quit the crying. (not aimed at anyone, just my general feeling on rules, i h8z dem)

I don't want to see receivers mugged, but at the moment, a simple tug of a jersey can be a 50 yard penalty. And many times it isn't more than a tug or a slight contact here or there.

The game has become a track meet with not much to lose of chucking it deep on a 50/50 ball... 50 percent of the time the reciever gets it.. 25 percent it is a penalty on the defender or that other 25 it may be intercepted.

I just think less rules is better, not more. This 15 yard thing doesn't do anything. Maybe half distance? I myself find ways to abuse 15 yard penalty so I know smarter defensive coaches will do the same and the game will further be lengthened by call after call. Right now there's a fear of giving up a spot penalty. You reduce that to just a measly 15 yards and my goodness, it'll be flag city.

I say the interference (both ways) needs to be egregious and blatant. If the CB body blocks the guy, so be it. I dunno. I just know I want less rules, regardless of whatever spot foul or 15 yard foul, I want less flags thrown in the game.

I also think whining for a flag on every incomplete should be dealt with as well.. whine, you must sit a play. :)

dfosterf (1h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (1h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (2h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (2h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (2h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (2h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (2h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (2h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (2h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (2h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (2h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (2h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (2h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (4h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (4h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (4h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (20h) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh
