47 offensive snaps 24 defensive snaps 29 special teams snaps And for those unaware, he is a defensive lineman who is acting as the Chargers fullback. "It's a true statement: the more you can do, the more value you add to the team. For me, I just love playing football and football is fun. I love it, anything I can do to help the team I'm going to do. Offense, defense and special teams." |

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Originally Posted By Hunter-Killer: Originally Posted By TinSpinner: Originally Posted By David_ESM: Originally Posted By GenYRevolverGuy: I think it's somewhat important to remember that we're watching these games in 4k with zoomed in cameras and instant replays, and these refs are watching these things in real time from fixed positions on the field, there's 22 different guys doing different things, and most of these guys aren't young. Things that happen around the ball when it's in the backfield or the secondary should be easier for those guys to see and call correctly, but stuff that happens in traffic between linemen is a lot harder. They could go to the eye in the sky more, but that could make the games unwatchable very quickly. More eyes = more accurate penalties + more called penalties. It's kind of a law of diminishing returns situation. Where on the curve do we want to be? Where on that curve are you providing the greatest entertainment possible? Edit: Ignoring the gambling side of things, we often lose track of the fact that the NFL is "entertainment". It isn't an industry that needs to be perfect and get everything right. It just needs to make money. And sometimes getting it wrong can make just as much money as getting it right. There would be holding penalties on every play because there is holding on every play to some degree. Nobody wants to see that. Ticky tack holding calls: yes. Defensive players being put in headlocks, form tackled, etc. holding calls: no. The rules on some of that stuff in general and holding in particular are a hell of a lot more complicated than the average NFL fan seems to understand. Where and how an OL guy can grip a DL guy depends on a lot of variables like how the Olineman is moving or which pass rush technique a DLineman is using. A certain type of grasp might be legal against a rip move but a penalty against a bull rush. An OL guy can absolutely manhandle a DL guy as long as he's driving forward with his lower body, but the rules get way more restrictive if he sets or anchors his feet. I've spent a lot of time reading articles and watching videos from veteran OLinemen and coaches talking about this stuff, and I've seen some funny twitter debates between guys like JJ Watt and the Schwartz brothers. There's a lot more to it than people think, and the more I listen to these guys, the more I learn about how much I don't know. I don't think most fans have any clue how much goes into it. These rules are then applied to a car crash of 4 DL on 5 OL or whatever on every snap with just a couple guys watching in real time, and they're supposed to evaluate this stuff in the context of player techniques and feet movement/positioning. Just look at stuff like the hip drop tackle drama going on this season. Those are happening 1 on 1 in space, and a few players have been injured by obvious hip drop tackles that weren't called. Sometimes the refs miss or blow calls completely, sometimes they misinterpret the criteria, and sometimes the rules aren't what people think they are. What is allowed at the LoS is far more complicated than the question of "what is a catch," but we still have problems with that question. |

Chase thought he had one when he blew his lid Sunday. JA17 had one on him too in the AZ game I believe, not called, but the video looked like the example they were showing for the tackle. But hey, the refs are sure getting the Oline guys for a few inches for penalties |

I am NOT a Caleb Williams fan and I’ve been saying for well over a year that not since JaMarcus Russell have I been more confident that the #1 overall pick would be a bust.
Having said that… I totally understand his reaction to CJ Stroud trying to “little brother” him after the game. First off, you just lost your first prime time game, so you’re already not in a good mood, and then, in front of the whole world, you have a guy who is one month older than you (and only played in 15 more NFL games) attempting to lecture you. I wouldn’t want to stick around for that either. |

Twitter Video View Quote This is why I have no problem with the Falcons drafting Penix. The best time to draft a QB is when you don't need him to start right away. Compare the success rates for QB's that started immediately vs those that sat for a year or two. The bust rate for those thrown to the wolves is astronomical. |
