How Is This Not An Illegal Pick?

Starting at :51 of the video. Watch the bottom of the screen. Logan Ryan is on Charles Clay. #80 TE Dion Sims runs DIRECTLY AT Ryan and blocks him off of Clay BEFORE Clay receives the ball.

Watch New England Patriots vs. Miami Dolphins (12/15/2013) - NFL.com

Can someone explain to me how that is OK, and how Brian Baldinger can illustrate that over and over again as a good play without even noticing it?

well obviously the answer is :the game was played in miami.

At the San Diego game you had multiple hits on QBs that were not different from what the Pats did on Sunday. The only difference being three 15yd penalties on us, none yesterday.

As long as there is some room for interpretation you will have vast differences between calls in different games. The only thing that you can hope for at this point is that there is consistency within one game.

I somehow can't see the video, can you tell me when it happened in the game ? I wonder how similar it is to the OPI that was called on LaFell in the fourth quarter which nullified the first down by Amendola at the Miami 25yd line.

LaFell ran into his guy by mistake.

This was a set play and completely intentional.

I should have formulated it differently. I mean how the two compare to each other. And it sounds that if somebody running into a person by mistake is a OPI then an obvious pick play should be one as well..

**** that inconsistency..

This video is from last year's game against Miami. It doesn't lesson the point, it just makes it less interesting.

Yup, you're right! Didn't see that.
