DPI - First time replaying the down

[Rich]

First experience with the horrible new enforcement of DPI.

3rd and 27. Deep pass to a wide open receiver. Defensive player goes right through the back of the receiver. After enforcement, it's 3rd and 12. Team ends up turning the ball over on downs.

Amazing thing is that nobody, NOBODY argued for an AFD. I mean, we still have people argue for those on garden variety personal fouls that have NEVER been AFD.

Yeah, haven't had my first yet. Sounds like the defender knew the rule change and decided to take advantage of it!

Had first KCI on a free-kick (K kicks it high from left hash, K catches it at the K 49 opposite side of field). R coach was very happy to have the ball PLUS 15 yards. Still doesn't make up for what they did with DPI though

I saw that type play in 2005. Made me glad I found this site the following summer. I blasted the officials saying K should have the ball since the ball went ten yards. My dad was listening online and called me when I got home, telling me to look up the rule. I did and publicly apologized on air the following game for getting the rule wrong.

Good for you!

I can see the smart coaches teaching kids to interfere in the endzone. Small yardage and way better than a touchdown.

I don't think anyone thought of this when making the rule change.

Nope. Guarantee he had no clue. Just worked out for them.

That's funny you had it in your first game because I've heard more than a few people say it will almost never make a difference.

Not the first game. We're in Week 2 and it was my fourth or so game of the season.

[Welpe]

Oh yeah...we're in Zero week here so I guess I was thinking it was your first week.

If you deemed it intentional it would have been an additional 15yds...... Right?
