One rule proposal would let coaches challenge uncalled penalties in replay

For years, there have been calls for the NFL to expand instant replay to allow coaches to challenge an uncalled penalty.
And for years, the argument against that has been that it’s opening a Pandora’s box where every big play by one team is followed by a challenge from the coach of the other team, who says, “I think there was holding on that play.”
And if the officiating office looks closely enough, they can probably find holding on every play.
But a proposal the owners will consider next week allows uncalled penalties to be reviewed — only if the coach can cite a specific penalty committed by a specific player.
“Once a challenge is initiated, the Head Coach must provide the Referee with the specific player (jersey number) and the specific foul that was committed on the play, regardless of whether there was a penalty called by the on-field officiating crew,” the proposal states.
In other words, Saints coach Sean Payton could have challenged the pass interference non-call on Rams defensive back Nickell Robey-Coleman in the NFC Championship Game, and that call would have been made in replay.
But a coach couldn’t simply challenge a play and tell the referee, “I think you can find a penalty.”
The proposal was made by Washington — not by the Competition Committee, which has put forward a narrower replay proposal for the owners to consider next week.
The broad proposal put forward by Washington has previously been proposed by Patriots coach Bill Belichick, so it appears that at least two teams will vote for it.
But it takes 24 of 32 votes to change a rule, and in the past other owners have been much more cautious about broadly expanding replay.

Perfect and fine by me. What I've always said. Let coaches uses challenges however they want. A play, a penalty, a scoring play, whatever. Stop putting arbitrary rules in the way of getting it right.
But why is it I get the sneaking suspicion that were going to get screwed by this new rule?

Is this some mind blowing thought???
Of course you’d have to identify what player they should be reviewing. It’s just like challenging a spot or a catch. You have to tell them what you are challenging
Why does everything have to seem so fricking complicated?

Maybe it's to avoid them looking to see if a WR made a catch, but saw him oushoff right before the play. If the coach doesn't ask to review for a push off, they won't look for that.
I still think they should make helmet-to-helmet reviewable. The league screams about player safety, but won't make one of the easiest penalties to see reviewable.

Good idea.
Especially since it has to be obvious for the challenge to succeed. So you don't have to worry about "muh holding on every play".

Just put an eye in the damn sky and a booth ref that can call down like the AAF does. It’s not that damn hard...

All this just pisses me off because of course it’s going to happen after we get fricked out of a super bowl

So we challenge a play earlier in the game and then the atrocity happens again at the end. Doesn't solve anything.

Wasn't our play inside 2 minutes? What happens then?
