They should have asked him to define "time."

Dez had control and took three steps (not just two feet down), and some "time" obviously passed. If there is a minimum amount of time that has to pass no matter how many steps the receiver takes, then it should be stated.

I think the Ref should've just ignored the application of the rule Bc what dez did wasn't really considered when they wrote the language.

He caught it and then dove for the end zone so it really should've been a fumble recovery.
If he caught it while IN the end zone he would've fell down on his back and scored. But Bc he took a long time to go to the ground and dive it became "all one act" or something.

Everytime he tries to explain the play, he bamboozles himself into another corner.

He knows that was a catch. He knows they screwed up. But they cannot admit it. So he is forced to keep defending the indefensible.

Than you. We know he can't say an amount of time.
I wish one person could ask this idiot Dean the right questions.
