I agree with some of what was said.oo

OPI should only be 5 yards and loss of down. As written now, this penality is a drive killer.

Allow for catchability to be a consideration in DPI. We are expected to only call fouls that effect the play, but catchability of a ball isn't a consideration in calling DPI.

Make breaking the huddle with more than 11 a penality. All coaches (and a lot of officials) already think this is a rule...just change it to end the debate over the issue.

Why should the penalty for OPI be less severe for A, than DPI is for B?

15 yards & Loss of Down or 15 yards & Auto 1st Down is more fair than in NCAA or NFL. Do you also think DPI should be 5 yards and a 1st down?

I would like to see pass interference against the defense penalized as follows:

If penalty is less than 15 yards downfield enforcement at the spot of the foul automatic 1st down for the offense.

If the penalty is more than 15 yards down field then 15 yards from the previous spot and automatic 1st down for the offense.

If the penalty happens inside of the 15 yard line or in the endzone of the defensive team spot foul (in endzone 2 yard line) and automatic first down.

OK, here's mine.

1) A runner who has crossed the NZ and returns to throw a forward pass.

2) Catchability of a pass not being a factor in DPI/OPI

3) A scrimmage kick that touches the ground (or player) beyond the NZ and returns behind the NZ and is remains in play if recovered by team-A

and one more for good luck

4) An illegal kick made from beyond the NZ (or the unlikely "return kick") remains a live ball.

What are who gonna do with these?

IMO, NCAA is most fair cuz 15 yards and LOD is more of a "double wammy" than the 15 yards and automatic 1st down, cuz the 15 yards for DPI will most always result in a 1st down anyway. The LOD will mean an almost certan punt upcoming. They do not seem very even IMO.

NCAA, DPI is spot foul if less than 15, and 15 of more than 15 and first down.
OPI is 15 and NO LOD.
