While patiently waiting for next week's game vs the Tide, I had some thoughts and choose to pester y'all with some of them.
- It's hard to compare QBs from different eras. The rules seem so different. It's almost a different game.
- Pass Interference is getting ridiculous. WR are allowed to push off, almost at will, with seemingly no calls against them. They also seem to be able to hold as long as there is a chance they can make a catch.
- I think the targeting call is still so unclear…some instances are pretty clear and some are way unclear. At least, I don't understand some of the calls.
- RBs can grab a facemask while performing a straight arm and no call is made. Defensive players seldom get away with it.
- On a recent MBL game, one umpire was "credited" as being the 4th worst at his job and missing so many calls. How in the world does one know if a close pitch is actually a strike or a ball. Replay angles are very vague and I don't think they are using the automated system is in use yet. Once it is in use, players will be allowed to challenge a call made by the robotic system. Does that mean that IT, too, can make mistakes?
Saturday can't get here fast enough for me!!
