Regardless of whether it was the correct call or not, the NFL needs to address this in the offseason. Rules were put in place to protect the center and the way teams are circumventing the rules are more dangerous than the original issue that the rules were intended for. The process of leaping over the center needs to be a penalty. Plain and simple. It needs to be eliminated.

Actually the leaper did use his hands to help him get over the line. The majority of his momentum was from his leap but he did use his hands.

I think a block in the back has to be from behind


I don't think that's right but is often the case of when it happens.

Iirc it's a forcible push into the back of an opposing player with no restriction on the angle it comes from.

And that was CLEARLY a forcible push into the snapper's back.

Holding is still in play also.

I don't think it was forcible enough to his head to be a penalty for that after watching again (but who the frick knows anymore). That's more questionable.

Yup no leaping from a running start period. If you take two steps forward and leap it's a penalty.

Isn'the Perera basically there to run damage control for the NFL? Goodell has to be behind this.
