But my point actually is shouldn't interference be called. Very seldom is interference done on purpose. So wether a DB's legs trip a WR or whether his arm hits the WR early, its still early. I think it should be flaged. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like common sense to me.

REPLY: I guess the question for you that begs asking is this: If the receiver and defender's legs get tangled up while both are making a bona fide attempt to play the ball, and the
defender falls, are you going to call it
offensive pass interference? If you say "no," you really can't hang your hat on a DPI call should it be the receiver who falls, can you? Remember that both players have an equal right to the ball.
