gopherwrestler Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 What’s your thoughts on this? Not a huge fan. Really would make sense to just tackle the receiver if you are completely burned in a late game, last drive type of situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if you are completely burned then you won't be in a position to tackle the WR period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSlim Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I'm a fan personally. I hate when a QB just chucks one up (that's usually underthrown), only to get bailed out by a DPI flag that puts the ball deep in enemy territory. It's hard enough already for defenders. Let them have one rule change that benefits(to a degree) them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodjahs12 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I hate 40 yard penalties. This rule should have came a long time ago and goes a long way in stopping the referees from affecting the outcome of a game so much it’s borderline unwatchable.

cddolphin Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I've beaten this horse to death but I know a lot of posters here would agree. The spot foul DPI is a bad rule. Making it a maximum 15-yard penalty makes a bad rule worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skywlker32 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Like others are saying, there has to be more of a deterrent to prevent DBs from just tackling the receiver once they realize they're beat. Maybe make it half of the spot foul or something if you feel you need to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I don't see what's so egregious about DPI that it is the only penalty where you can garner more than 15 yards. The only time I have an issue with this rule change is when the WR has a clear advantage over a WR to the point where the DB would have to dive in order to trip him up by his legs to interfere. The NFL could adopt something like the NBA has for clear path to the basket fouls. As a DB if you dive to interfere with a WR, it's a spot foul, any other instance of DPI is a spot foul to a max of 15 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would basically have to change half their offensive scheme with Rodgers tbh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontTazeMeBro Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 It’s 15 yards in college and this corners tackling WRs thing everyone is so scared of doesn’t happen. And you barely ever see WRs in the NFL getting the kind of separation downfield they do consistently in college And honestly I don’t care. If there’s an OPI(which barely ever gets called) 30 yards down the field it’s not a 30 yard penalty. Completely BS one sided rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spot foul DPI is a bad rule. Making it a maximum 15-yard penalty makes a bad rule worse. The only problem with this statement is that there's actually no support that it's worse until we have tried it. It's just an assumption on how the game would play out, what the secondary can and would do, etc. You don't see receivers getting tackled and mugged in college. It's worth the shot.

College DBs also don’t have the knowledge or experience of most NFL DBs. I don’t think the needle gets moved much here. Plenty of people hate that a ticky tack bump 45 yards down the field will result in a spot foul. Others will lament when a JAG is about to get roasted for a deep TD and latches onto the WR instead. The only way to avoid those things? The refs would need the power to look at things case by case and determine egregiousness - but nobody wants to add more subjectivity to calls (myself indlucded).
