Good or bad call?

[tjones1]

Good call in my opinion. I'm going to assume there was a bag.

[Forksref]

If it's close, make it a TB. Good call.

The call appears good.

The excessive signaling, not so good.

I'm good with the above -- if its close to the goal line, give them the TB. You would have given Team A the touchdown had he appeared to have got the ball across, but he didn't. Defense made a good play, so they can benefit.

If the offense just loses it, with no defensive interaction, then I'd be a little stricter in my scrutiny.

"Excessive" — meh. It's a tight call, and OK to sell it.

That is why I signaled the way I did. I was also looking dead at my LJ who did not see the fumble and I was trying to not have him go up with a TD or something else. I at first thought it was excessive for sure, but then honestly thought about why I was doing that. Usually I am very subtle and under control, but this play was a sell to me and everyone watching. I probably could have stopped after I got the ball thrown to me.

This is why you watch tape because I would not have thought I gave the signal that many times.

My first year here I watched film of me working the LJ position in a playoff game. Routine first down, I stopped the clock 5 times. Really? Let's just say that I corrected that immediately.

Film can be a great teacher.

I also learned a while back to do things in 3s. I have since modified that to only situations where you are making an actual call or if there is a sell, but I think that was a good starting point for me.
