Long Pass Interference

[Kevinicus]

I disagree. It looks to me like the DB's shoulder pushed Brown before Brown's arm came around his back.

Nah, there is still a nice air gap between the two when the arm goes back.

Here's both videos I made. I report. You decide. Now you KNOW I'm not biased with that tagline.

I'm watching it now, and that's false.

I watch the replay pretty much every time I post, for the sake of accuracy.

I've just rewound and watched 4 times. I'll retract my statement about the arm not coming around the back until after contact, but he didn't actually put his arm ON him until the shoulder pushed him. It looked to me like he was trying to keep from falling down. I still think PI.

There's another view that shows an angle from farther to the right than the second one here. It shows the moment the shoulder pushes into him.

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

It doesn't seem super ridiculous to me that if he decides he's not going to be able to make a catch, the receiver's next-best strategy is to try to draw the DPI.
(In this case I agree with the OP and disagree with the announcers, but the contrary position is not impossible.)

They’re competitors they want that ball. They could be trying to keep their balance but they aren’t performing some elaborate maneuver.

i dvr the games and zip through comemricals and try to catch up to live by like late third quarter. Whenever it’s announcers going on and on looking at a replay of a borderline play j just have to skip that as well. It’s not worth analyzing to that degree.


For example Stephen Gilmore doesn’t need to interfere. He had already jumped a route. He’s better than our quarterback and our wr.

An Anthony brown on a Calvin Johnson yea if I’m
A zebra I’m gonna scrutinize him a little meow closely. He steps on the field for warmups and I got my hand on my flag like we’re in a western and it’s about to be a duel

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Was pulled into the receiver you mean?

not like their DB wasn't going to run him over anyway

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

100% inaccurate.

200% inaccurate

There can be contact.

The "NO contact" thing is not the rule.

Yes, when the ball is in play and CB makes play for the ball. If he doesn't then there can't be contact. Ala Gallup getting bumped and falling because CB was next to him looking at QB and had equal chance at the ball.... if they are not looking back trying to make a play at the ball there can't be contact

There can be contact, such as a hand on the back to feel where the receiver is, as long as that contact doesn't impede the receiver's path to the ball...which it did here, IMO.

PI no question. This kind of play has happened against the Cowboys CBs before. CB has to turn towards the ball to not get called for PI.

 

[conner01]

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

I thought it was a smart play by brown lol
I thought they were gonna call brown but it’s a smart move by a reciever
Looked like brown kinda tugged him into himself
Something I’d be teaching in camp myself

 

[31RoyW31]

Overall that was a pretty well officiated game.

 

[Pola_pe_a]

DB’s don’t turn back for the ball, it’s not even coached that way anymore. Guys are coached to play through the WR’s hands.

This was OPI or a no call since they were both all over each other.

This one?

 

[Runwildboys]

This one?

That's the one. Okay, watching it on a loop, it kinda does look like he pulled him in. Brown should've just stopped and let him run into him and it would've been easy PI. I have to reverse my stance the way it looks though. I don't know if OPI can be called when the defender isn't going for the ball, but no flag should've been thrown................Oh well. lol

@Kevinicus , you win.

 

[Creeper]

Those of you

Umm, what do you call this?

Those of you claiming this was not DPI, do you remember this play?

Yes...also not DPI.

LOL.

It's funny. If I had time yesterday, I likely would have said I wasn't as sure anymore. Watching at full speed, and the slo-mo replay, I was confident in my position. Watching it frame by frame, I was less confident. It's difficult to really gauge how much force is being applied sometimes.

While I see your point, and have come to agree that the play in question shouldn't have been called DPI, this looks a bit more blatant on the part of the receiver, if one was to just by a still photo.
