Interesting day at NFL officiating clinic. Biggest point of emphasis for 2014..Illegal contact and defensive holding. More offense!
10:40pm - 18 Jul 14

NFL says they are offsetting this emphasis with an emphasis on calling offensive pass interference. Not an even trade in my opinion.

I know, that's never going to happen!

They get paid sufficiently to keep quiet.

Later in their career, once they're set for life, that gets a little less reliable for the league to count on.

I agree. I have plenty to do, and they're just making it easier to choose something else.

Can you play defense anymore?

This hurts the Patriots, so I don't know why you'd add them to that list.

Care to elaborate?

I did that. It will be the first time in 12 years that Im not getting NFLST. A sports bar opened up about 3 miles down the road and that's where I'll be this season.

This is not true at all. You might feel that's the case but stats show you couldn't be more wrong. The core group will always remain. The NFL KNOWS this.

For the record, I wish you were correct.

Goodell isn't happy unless Brady and Peyton are taking turns winning Super Bowls.

Sure.

Belichick loves a physical defense. For the first time since about 2008, he has the CBs to play it the way he likes to, with Revis, Browner and Dennard. Just as he gets his CBs, the league does this.

Good point. The Cheating Donx have an improved secondary too, having made significant upgrades at CB and S. Still, if they or the Pats make it, it will be because of their offense and not their defense.

I guess I'm just not reading the OP correctly?

The point of emphasis is correctly calling two rules that were already in place?

There is no "correctly", because the calls are based upon interpretation. If you've followed the game for more than 3-5 minutes, you surely know that.

I bet people will actually stop watching the NFL this year.

No, on the second thought, they won't.
