These are two huge ones I'd want to see. I hate that "possession for 10 mins then walk to sideline with it" bullshite.
And that pass interference penalty has always been nuts. You could get a 40 free yards just because someone interfered with the receiver. That should def. be 15 as well.


I have to disagree with changing the pass interference to 15 yards max.. it's like the other guy said. If a receiver gets 15+ yards and it looks like it's a definite catch, just interfere and save some yards.

25 yards is up for debate imo though. That's a big big penalty to take.

I played DB and it's pretty close to impossible to tell if a ball will be a definite catch while you're looking up at the ball and at the same time running with a receiver. You can tell on TV but not on the field. Unless the WR completely blows by you then maybe you can, but at that point you probably can't interfere with him anyway. Also, if you're in position to intefere with the WR more times than not a DB will go for the ball. It works in college so why not in the NFL?

I see your point there, but if you interfere it's still 15 yards and a 1st down. I guarantee if that's a big 3rd down to finish a game out you're not gonna do anything to cause a penalty. I just dont think it's warrants that many yards. I would say 20 at most and spotted wherever it happens if less
