| 0:15.0 | But the NFL executive vice president of football operations, Troy Vincent, |
| 0:20.0 | threw out a few things on potential changes. |
| 0:24.8 | And one of those being a major change to their officiating approach, |
| 0:30.4 | that there is an idea that some of these non-football acts that have gone |
| 0:36.1 | unpenalized by on-field officials |
| 0:38.5 | could get overturned by kind of the eye-in-the-sky type thing |
| 0:44.5 | where they see it happen and the refs don't see it. |
| 0:48.2 | And they use the example, if you'll remember from the Super Bowl, |
| 0:51.5 | when Stefan Diggs of the Patriots got into it with Josh Job from |
| 0:56.0 | the Seahawks and they grabbed each other's face mask on the sideline and Job threw a punch |
| 1:00.5 | at Diggs and it wasn't even flagged. But then of course on TV we can all see that. And so situations |
| 1:06.5 | like that where they would then go back and assess the proper penalty pretty quickly because somebody watching the broadcast up in the league offices were like, okay, hold on a second. They didn't flag that. We got to get that taken care of. I've always wondered when you have something like that, where does it stop? Where is it going to end? Because if you open it up for something and then the next year, you'll say, well, let's see if we can open it up for something else and then something else. And then do you just have an official that's up at the eye, this guy that can just throw anything that he wants? I know they don't want it to get it to that point. But if you have, okay, you have this guy that will notice that this dude threw a punch. So if he threw a punch, we need to penalize that. Let's just say the next play, there's a face mask that the officials miss. Do you throw that? That seems like that's the one to me. That drives me insane. Me also. And you have a lot of, you know, there are going to be times where you're going to miss things on the field. I do get that. But I feel like that's one of those penalties that if you say, hey, man, you missed one on the quarterback or receiver, whatever it is, that you can go back and rectify pretty quickly. Now, you're not going to just have an official in the sky that sees a holding on the offensive lines. No, let's do that. |
| 2:17.8 | I think that's way too much. |
| 2:19.6 | You always want to get the things correct, but how far do you go to get things correct |
| 2:25.5 | without having that human factor? |
| 2:27.1 | Because a lot of people will still say and use that excuse, man, you do have the human |
| 2:32.0 | element in it that you don't want to get away from, |
| 2:35.5 | but you do want to get things correctly because they directly can affect the outcome of a game. |
