You do realize that is probably reason #1 to call it DPI? You argue against your own position.

I don't know what you guys who are calling it face guarding are seeing, from such a good video.
Um ... I think your complete misunderstanding of this play is the result of you thinking the player in white was the offense. White is the defense, and the player guilty of faceguarding. Black is offense, and is looking at the ball, and somehow managed to catch it behind White's head.

Also faceguarding is not unique to the defense. Both offense and defense cannot face guard.

I know that... but it's apparent from what he said that he's looking at the wrong guy as the faceguarder.

I would want my crew to have a DPI flag on this play, without waiting to see if it were completed.

But that's not what the player in black was doing, he was going for the ball. Meanwhile the player in white was playing the player in black, not looking for the ball. It's hard for me to believe we could be seeing this so differently.

Oh. Never mind. I was indeed trying to find the face guarding on the part of the black player that I thought you guys were imagining. I could certainly understand the white player's being flagged.
