[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 922401"] I don't want defensive backs to tackle receivers on a deep pass before the ball arrives when in a bad position to prevent a completion and instead only being penalized 15 yards. Here's the pass interference rule out of the league's rule book for this season. The bold parts are the important ones when talking about the flag thrown on Stokes. Taking a look at those two points there's absolutely no way that Stokes creating separation by shoving or restricted the receiver in any way to catch the ball. Therefore the penalty should be considered BS. [I]PROHIBITED ACTS BY BOTH TEAMS WHILE THE BALL IS IN THE AIR. Acts that are pass interference include, but are not limited to: a) Contact by a player who is not playing the ball that restricts the opponent’s opportunity to make the catch; (b) Playing through the back of an opponent in an attempt to make a play on the ball; (c) Grabbing an opponent’s arm(s) in such a manner that restricts his opportunity to catch a pass; (d) Extending an arm across the body of an opponent, thus restricting his ability to catch a pass, and regardless of whether the player committing such act is playing the ball (e) Cutting off the path of an opponent by making contact with him, without playing the ball; (f) Hooking an opponent in an attempt to get to the ball in such a manner that it causes the opponent’s body to turn prior to the ball arriving; or [B](g) Initiating contact with an opponent by shoving or pushing off, thus creating separation.[/B] Note: If there is any question whether player contact is incidental, the ruling should be no interference. PERMISSIBLE ACTS BY BOTH TEAMS WHILE THE BALL IS IN THE AIR. Acts that are permissible by a player include, but are not limited to: (a) Incidental contact by an opponent’s hands, arms, or body when both players are competing for the ball, or neither player is looking for the ball. If there is any question whether contact is incidental, the ruling shall be no interference. (b) Inadvertent tangling of feet when both players are playing the ball or neither player is playing the ball. (c) Contact that would normally be considered pass interference, but the pass is clearly uncatchable by the involved players, except as specified in 8-3-2 and 8-5-4 pertaining to blocking downfield by the offense. [B](d) Laying a hand on an opponent that does not restrict him in an attempt to make a play on the ball.[/B] (e) Contact by a player who has gained position on an opponent in an attempt to catch the ball.[/I] Stokes didn't do anything that should have been considered a foul. You forgot to mention the part that reads "thus creating separation". He definitely didn't do that. Stokes did absolutely nothing to restrict the receiver from catching the ball. Once again, King is most likely an upgrade over Sullivan in the slot. [/QUOTE]
