If a DB is beat bad enough that he needs to tackle the WR to stop him, he probably wouldn't be able to do it anyway. I can't comment on how it works in the NCAA, but here in the NFL the WR would probably make the play most times.
If this is in the works, this is the group that will make that determination: From the NFC we have the Chairman, Rich McKay of Atlanta, Fisher of the Rams, S Jones of Dallas, J Mara of the Giants and M Murphy of GB. From the AFC we'll have R Smith of Houston and three reps all from the AFCS, something that definitely shouldn't happen btw, M Lewis of Cincy, Ozzie Newsome of the Ravens and Mike Tomlin of the Steelers. I wouldn't trust anything that comes from that group.
This change still won't help with the blatant non-calls on Gronk.
We won't know the ramifications of this change until it happens and we see how the officials will work it. Until then I like the idea of the revision.
That would muddy the waters even further in terms of "referee discretion." My concern is how this change would impact the pro game strategically. I say keep it as is and open it up to being challenged/reviewed.
Yes. Consider: 20 seconds left, team has ball on its own 20, needs touchdown to win. Receiver beats corner going long, ball on target, corner tackles receiver to prevent reception. All the defense has to do is keep mugging receivers 'til the clock runs out.
I think they should keep it the way it is every year they change something this is getting Ridiculous.
3 plays, 3 clock stops into FG range!
I keep asking myself why Logan Ryan didn't take a DPI instead of letting a no name receiver score a cheap TD at the end of the first half in the Super Bowl. That needs to be coached up better.

That screaming we all hear is Joe Flacco and his agent. Jump Ball Joe is about to be exposed if this happens.
Seriously, most of his career he has played very well against NE and other top teams - why he's seen as some sort of chump is beyond me. The guy can play.It's amazing how much flack Flacco takes from fans here. Hasn't he beaten us enough to earn more respect?
