That's my main concern. The call itself is obviously important but the fact the T had an immediate whistle isn't good. Obviously you can't see his eyes but just watching his head as the play developed it appears as though he was focused on the ball.

As I said earlier, I know he didn't have anything going on in front of him, meaning he can expand his vision, but he shouldn't be the first - and only - whistle on that play.

I just noticed! That's why I said in another thread some guys just do it out of habit.
