Also, if the WR was stationary (if I'm reading the post correctly) then he's got a right to that patch of turf. If he was stationary and they both go up for the ball, then it's free game. But if he's planted on his feet, then I'll let a little contact go on the part of the defender if he's going up for the ball because he too has a right to the ball, but he's got to do it with no more than incidental contact.
I still don't understand how their feet could've gotten tangled if the WR was standing still, but again maybe I'm reading it wrong.
That being said, a good rule of thumb for PI is that it almost always occurs above the waist. Tangling of feet is always a good no call unless you can clearly judge intent.
Also, I'd much rather have no flag for a borderline PI, then a flag for a borderline non-PI anyday.....
