I've always hated that you can be a little physical covering a receiver as long as you turn and try to make a play on the ball, but you if you don't turn it automatically means PI.

The technique has as much an influence on the game as the QB or WR position...

As long as you you don't interfere with the receiver running his route or if he holds you to stop the catch then that's not fair play. Otherwise, I say let them play. Oh yes, maybe they should watch the five yard jamming the receiver rule a kittle closer. I've seen them take it 10 yards and not get called. Or if they did get a flag everyone was complaining that it was subjective and not pertinent to the play.

This is not exactly a rule but i have always felt that receivers who deflect or bobble a catchable pass to defenders should have the INT count on their stats not the QBs. A bobbled catch int is exactly like a fielding error in baseball, yet it counts against the ‘ pitcher’ who has no control of it.

Also i would have a rule that any fumble following helmet to helmet contact is a dead ball even if the runner lowers his helmet. Donte Whitner forcing the fumble on Pierre Thomas by concussing him was a disaster for player safety that made CTE the defensive MVP and if we continue to allow concussions as a turnover strategy its only a matter of time until we pull a corpse from the bottom of a pile while defenders celebrate.
