Long Pass Interference

[silvernblu]

I forget who it was to, but you’ll remember as Collinsworth and the other guy adamantly said it was clearly offensive PI.

The defender had his back to the ball and clearly ran through the receiver. It was text book defensive PI. I don’t care that the receiver got his arm on the defenders back as he came back for the ball.

It was a short lived rant, but it just pissed me off they were so clear that we got a huge advantage there.


Does anyone have the video I’m talking about?

Was pulled into the receiver you mean?

 

[jrumann59]

I have no issue with the no OPI call. I think the NYG game the receiver went up for the pass and he had the other hand pushing on AB so he could not jump. that was a not called OPI then Brown's should not as well since he at least was trying to catch the ball unlike the defender running into him.

 

[silvernblu]

Was pulled into the receiver you mean?

No. That’s what they said. But the defender was running through him whether he was pulled or not. The receiver was in the process of already reaching behind the defender to try to get the ball.

You're serious?

 

[Denim Chicken]

It was OPI if it was anything. Dallas was definitely gifted one there.

I know the play you're referring to. In slow motion it's easy to pick and choose what you want to see. But at full speed it was as you said. The defender had no interest in the ball, and that's why it was called. Turn around and you might get some love from the refs. We saw this called against us with the Raiders last year, right? Multiple times.

youtube has it if you google it. the Defender was already into his body when the ball was in the vicinity and the defender wasn't looking back. at that point it is pass interference already, Brown's hand coming around as his other hand does too, to try and catch the ball is after the fact. the WR was being pushed way before that.

You are correct.

If the DB does not clearly look back before the ball arrives, then they always call it PI in the defender.

 

[Kevinicus]

You're serious?

Yes. Absolutely.

Brown wrapped not only one, but both hands around the guy. That was prior to the defender putting his hand along Noah's back. And Noah pulled the defender. There is no doubt about that.

Now, I don't know that I'd call OPI on it, but definitely wouldn't call DPI. It'd lean more towards OPI if one had to be called.

That's not DPI at that point at all.

Yes the defender's arm was reaching on the other side of Brown, but Brown grabs him first.

The defender does eventually try to turn around, though, difficult to do when you're being hugged.

Not remotely true. It depends on what's going on with the contact.

no, the defender was into his body, without looking back at the ball...the arm movement came afterwards.

with that Said Brown got called for a similar DPI last year in overtime against Raiders. he was actually less interference on that call than the one last night.

Wrong?

No he did not wrap both arms around him. If so it was well after the PI as they hit the ground,

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

I like how people think a wide receiver
Is gonna pull
Someone into them while attempting to catch a pass. That’d be a neat trick

 

[jazzcat22]

We have some odd fans.
This and the Dalton non fumble thread.

You would think some of these fans were Colts fans…or just don’t like their own Dallas team more like it.

IF we did get away with a few calls…which we DID NOT….it would be about freaking time.

 

[Typhus]

No. That’s what they said. But the defender was running through him whether he was pulled or not. The receiver was in the process of already reaching behind the defender to try to get the ball.

Believe that as well, but it was a beautiful opportunity to make that grab and pull by the WR.
Cannot remember now if it was Gallup or Brown, don't think it was CD, but great awareness nonetheless.

 

[Cydios]

I'm no expert, but at field level to me it looked like DPI from a refs perspective. When you play it back, he did great on drawing the flag. Kinda like a flop. IMO, they owed us a few.

 

[McKDaddy]

No. That’s what they said. But the defender was running through him whether he was pulled or not. The receiver was in the process of already reaching behind the defender to try to get the ball.

That was my impression as well. The defender was beaten & accelerated straight into Brown as Brown tracked the ball and prepared to go after it. Yes, Brown does ultimately get his arm around the guy but looked like the initial contact was by the defender & the defender never tried to play the ball. If that is a Dallas defender, it would have definitely been called that way.
