Video Play #1 from last friday night
I am posting 3 video plays from a game our association serviced last week.
There was much discussion during our meeting on Monday night about the plays and I wanted to get the opinion of some other officials. On this first play, offensive pass interference is called on Red #12. Red #12 is the inside receiver on the right side of the offense. This is the press box view of the play This is the press box view of the play in slow motion This is the end zone view This is the end zone view in slow motion Do you agree with OPI being called on this play? |
I would pass on this one
Don't think it really warrants a flag, not enough of a block to me, more inadvertant contact
|
Yep
I concur. If the pass had been launched immediately after the contact and I felt the receiver pushed off, I might have seen it as OPI.
|
No.
|
Are we talking about the contact at the 0:02 mark, at the 20 yard line?
If so, then I think this contact is nothing. |
No. It looked like they both engaged each other. There was also no advantage from the play.

OPI? The restriction is on the offensive player from the snap. The player knows the play therefore has an advantage over the defender.
It appears the offensive receiver initiated a block on the defender. When I was a downfield official as soon as I saw a block it was time to cover the running game. If a pass was thrown pass the line of scrimmage it was an OPI. Thinks this meets the test. |

Are we sure that the official did not rule that the receiver was covered up? Thus, when he caught the ball he committed OPI. I know the rule changed a few years ago, but he did not throw the flag at the time of the contact. Just a thought.

Based on the contact I have nothing.

Your criteria are accurate for calling DPI. If you watch the LB after the contact, he continues with his pass protection. He steps up to defend the scramble, not because of the contact. Althought the WR does initiate contact, I wouldn't call it a "block" as he doesn't engage him and he continues to run his route. In addition, the contact didn't cause the separation between the two. I would say that this is something to definitely talk about with your WR and your wing officials. I would also talk with your wing officials to finish officiating the play, even though you know it is coming back. Watch the calling official. I say no call is the right call. |
