NFL should go to College rule on Pass INterference

**BatemanPatrickl** · 01-15-11, 04:52 PM

Agree; both players were battling for position on that play NO call.

**firedawg** · 01-15-11, 04:53 PM

maybe a no call, but i like NFL rule allot better

**Cuse0323** · 01-15-11, 04:53 PM

someones on the ravens.

**dfberger23** · 01-15-11, 04:53 PM

I agree but then I worry about big plays being ruined by a defender who is thinking "whatever, it is just 15 yards".

**ttwarrior1** · 01-15-11, 04:55 PM

disagree because m wallace would of caught that for a td

**BatemanPatrickl** · 01-15-11, 04:55 PM

I didn't bet the game; Sam is trying to start a discussion. Grow up about who bet on who.

15 yrds is still 15 yrds and a player won't knock someone out to give up 15 yrds

Even making it 20 or 25 max.

A 40-50 yrd PI call is RIDICULOUS. Whether you bet Ravens/Pitt, it's not just this game....it happens in A LOT of games

it's a bad rule

Well yea you idiot, players would PI alot more often knowing they would just give up 15 yards rather than a TD. Use some common sense and logic

College should adapt more to NFL rules.

**pavyracer** · 01-15-11, 05:29 PM

I like the current rule. If it was a 15 yard penalty you will never see teams allowing TD's on long throws anymore. They would take their chances with the minor 15 yard penalty.

**VegasInsider** · 01-15-11, 05:36 PM

This rule shouldn't change at all. What if you're beat by 3 steps and just lunge out and trip the WR?? A sure TD or long gain is now 15 yards?

Maybe if this was the case they would have 2 types of PI like in basketball. They can call intentional PI and maybe that one is not a 15 yard penalty but the same as is now at the spot.

I think this opens another can of worms and makes the rules even more complicated than what they are now.

I don't think that would be the case. You don't see it in college. They throw plenty of long TDs.

**VegasInsider** · 01-15-11, 05:51 PM

Pavy: I agree that two variations of the rule would be a good idea, but I doubt they'll change it. Seems like they're trying to make the rules less "opinion" based...like with the face mask rule.

Seer: College Football and the NFL are two totally different variations of football. The only thing they share are the basic rules of the game...gameplans and personnel account for plenty of long TDs

**D3 Mighty Ducks** · 01-15-11, 05:52 PM

I never knew about the 15 yard penalty in College football but I agree 100% they should change the rule to this!

All year I've been saying this Pass interference call is SO inconsistent its unbelievable. 15 yard penalty would make more sense.

Actually they are not when it comes to that. Do you think Charlie Weis is gonna totally change his playbook at Florida. Notre Dame ran the same plays the Pats did. Trust me. I played DB and I coach DBs on defense and I've been coached by coaches that have played DB and one of them is coaching in the NFL right now. If you are beat then you can't just magically speed up and tackle the guy from letting him make a catch and if you can then you would play coverage. I've got a clue about this.

It's never a sure TD and if you are beat by 3 steps then you wouldn't be close enough to "lunge out and trip" maybe 1 or 2 steps. Guys have tackled guys that were about to run by them on every level. This wouldn't change with that rule.

**VegasInsider** · 01-15-11, 07:34 PM

No wonder you support changing the rule. I played hockey in college and I'd love to see the net wider.

**Naz18** · 01-15-11, 07:35 PM

I like the NFL rule, but teams should be allowed to challenge the play.

I coach WRs too and call the plays. I went both ways in the Arena League and 2 yrs in college. That doesn't have anything to do with it on my end.

**VegasInsider** · 01-15-11, 07:38 PM

Arena League, huh? Got some stats?

like what? I played for the Memphis Xplorers for a couple of years then went into coaching.
An example of what I was talking about just happened. How come Balt dbs didn't just tackle the steeler that just caught that long ball ahead of time? They couldn't.

**Reload** · 01-15-11, 08:43 PM

Wouldn't be as many long passing plays or scoring without the current rule. In the end, offense sells tickets.

**DrunkHorseplayer** · 01-15-11, 08:48 PM

Not only should it be only 15 yards but it shouldn't be an automatic first down.
