Aside from just this play, there were several instances of the Redskins getting away w/ ridiculously blatant picks by their wideouts. Can someone explain that rule to me? It seems never called, but should be so illegal. This isn't basketball.

This is/was a staple of the Colts for a while. There is a fine line between a well designed play that tangles the defenders up, and a pick play, where the WR doesn't try to avoid the defender. I'd love to see pick plays called more often. Several times a year, I find myself screaming at the TV because of them.

I hate picks. I say either enforce it or make them legal. I don't care which way it goes, but I hate things that are "against the rules but almost never called".
