The league emails an officiating video to all coaches and general managers on a weekly basis after a week of controversy. One head coach was so frustrated that he replied all.
Every head coach and general manager in the league received a polite but pointed email from the TennesseeTitans coach.
"I appreciate the time and energy that goes into these videos, but I suggest we devote every minute of our officiating departments' time ensuring our crews are as well trained in the clarifications we worked to create in the off season and that each crew is well-versed in the rules," Vr I would like to thank you.
The belief is that Vrabel wanted to send a message and emphasize the need for the league to clean up its mistakes. His message is in line with what many league executives and coaches want to hear.
The roughing the passer penalties will be a topic of discussion by the league's competition committee after the season. According to reports, the topic will be discussed when the owners meet in New York.
Making roughing the passer penalties subject to video review is one suggestion Jones made. The competition committee is made up of six team owners/ executives and four head coaches.
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he would support replay for these penalties.
The roughing the passer penalties are down from last year. In the first five weeks of the season, 51 were called, but only 28 have been called thus far.
