Roughing the passer

[RonWashington]

To me this penalty is even more controversial up for interpretation then any NFL penalty currently on the books . PI might be second but usually that’s clear cut either the DB did or he didn’t .

In Monday’s game Dak was on the receiving end of a roughing the passer and honestly it looked tame . His feelings may have been bruised but when the flag was thrown he brightened up . It’s gotten to the point where i see a defensive player lighten up on a hit while the QB still has the ball it’s bizarre .

He let all of his weight land on Dak, which is why there was a penalty… and according to the rules, it WAS a penalty.

I agree in general though. Some of the roughing the QB penalties are ridiculous.

I was surprised we didn't get called when the d-lineman rolled up on Brady's shin and knocked him over backwards. Borderline but very close to the rule put in in response to Brady's season ender in 08.

Parsons seems to have a real understanding, and a knack for 'gently' finishing his QB hits.

Notes from the 2022 NFL Rule book...

(1) When in doubt about a roughness call or potentially dangerous tactic against the passer, the Referee should always call roughing the passer.

Pardons really knows how to sack the QB and not get the penalty . Textbook . He’s a sound tackler , football player .

When in doubt is going to cause a lot of RTP's to be called that probably shouldn't be. How about when in doubt let it go?

I don't like the roughing calls now days but Tampa player came down full weight on Dak. I would have been pissed if that had been called on cowboys defense. But it is the rule.

Very smart, sound football player for sure.

One thing i'll say about this team....not as stupid as in years past. If it all. Rarely beat themselves. I still can't get that nasty taste out of my mouth of Gregory just going full stupid in the playoffs last year.

Yeah I have no issue letting it go but I understand it.

You talking about Brady’s slide tackle?

yep, exactly what happened. Fat-arse landed his whole slab on Dak. Dak got up, slowly. Glad we got the call.

Haha ok you know what it may be a joke with how they call games I honestly believed it lol.

As messed up as it sounds its probably worth doing once or twice a game to take a QB out......i'm no for it but I can easily see a defense thinking this way. Giants guys puttin gall their weight on Hurts bad shoulder? Sheesh.

Dak got hit in the neck/head area which will just about always get you a call against the QB these days

I think the rule is terribly weak, but this was a penalty twice by the rule.
1. He hits him with a hand in the head/neck area.
2. Then drives his body weight onto him.

They are going to call that one 9 times out of 10.
thanks,

No I believe you I’m thinking out loud to put “ when in doubt “ in a rule book is pretty ambiguous.
