I think the center was about to call a charge, too.

And he would have gotten it right from our angle.

Would like to see the angle from the baseline, but it certainly looks like a charge from the camera angle.

Agree....he was in the spot for a long time before the contact.

I don't disagree but we will get chastised here for not doing it by the book.

Honestly, I've never ever had anyone get on me for not doing this by the book. And if I was, it's probably a hit I'd be willing to take. Then again, I can count on one hand the amount of people that call this by the book (as far as a block goes...still see the PC mechanic all the time). Hell, the only person I can think of that does it "by the book" regularly is Dick Bervetta.

When I say "here" I'm not talking about all of Houston but my chapter in particular. The greater area is probably too big for anybody to care once you break into varsity.

Maybe those arms coming up force the call to be a block. Otherwise, it would appear PC is the correct call. Jmho.

That's not something Joey could see from his angle, IMO.

Incorrect call by Joey, IMO.

Slot should have been Primary on this call, IMO.

That is a charge all the way. We penalize the defense way too much.

Peace

Personally, I think it's great to see a little style from the officials. Soon you'll see none of that at all and, IMO, the game will be worse off for it.
