Hopefully, Marinelli and his coaches are preparing for the new rule enforcements

Veteran referee Ed Hochuli said this week that there will be a closer emphasis on defensive holding and illegal contact penalties this season, something that he predicted would lead to a lot of flags in the early part of the season.

Officials are visiting camps around the league to provide some instruction about how the rules will be applied. Referee Terry McAuley has been at Commanders camp this week and told a reporter that coaches are going to have to change the way they teach their players to play in pass coverage if they want to avoid flags, which he threw several of during the team’s practices. That suggestion didn’t sit well with Commanders defensive coordinator Jim Haslett.

As the NFL gets softer and softer and softer, here's hoping that the defensive coaches are on top of this.

Apparently, every little bump and grab is going to get called this year in the secondary. Scoring is going to go through the roof.

They already can't breathe on receivers and they want to crack down more? They are changing the game and its not a good thing.

How come Sherman gets to hold every play, but Mo sneezes and gets a flag?

Sherman gets the benefit of the doubt most times. Just the way officials have always been. The stars always get the calls.

Lebron James gets calls others would never get.

You know something, the Houston Texans are reloading and applying a new game plan...now why doesn't that also apply to the Cowboys?

 

[erod]

If applied evenly, this will really hurt Seattle.

But I hate the rule changes.

 

[Hoofbite]

Until it comes down to a Hail Mary or the playoffs when they "just let them play".

 

[SHAMSzy]

On the bright side this heavily favors our offense.

What in the hell are you talking about?

Ha, who's hound dog's leg do you think you are pulling here? Go find a mirror...or a decoder ring.

I hate how soft the league is now... Just play flag football and be done with it lol

 

[BrassCowboy]

This is ridiculous. They need to ease up as it is. They need to make it easier for defenders not harder.

I bought up all of the decoder rings.

If they start calling what DB do to Dez in the end zone, goal-line offense better be ready.

Hey, Percy...dead on target.

My first thought as well.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

Doesn't seem fair.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

In theory, any rule change that hurts defenses while enhancing offenses is a boon to the Cowboys.

 

[Hardline]

The pussification of the NFL.
