The recent roughing of the passer calls was addressed by the executive VP of the National Football League. There is a time and a place for it.
Troy Vincent, the league's executive vice president of football operations, said the league supports roughing the passer penalties from Week 5.
The erratic nature of the roughing the passer penalty and judgement calls made by the refs caused a lot of discussion this week. The word "support" is often used by NFL executives. But given the chance to acknowledge that either call was wrong, or a case of poor judgement, he refused.
He said that they supported those calls. What's going on?" This is the only rule in the rulebook that allows the referee to call a play in real time if he so chooses. The rule allows us to say yes to support it if they see that.
The roughing the passer rule prohibits a penalty against a defensive tackle for throwing a quarterback to the ground.
The roughing the passer rule prohibits Chris Jones from falling on Carr with his full body weight. Jones tried to limit the force of his fall by bracing himself, but Carr fumbled and Jones recovered the ball.
The hits were not fined. According to sources, Brady tried to kick Jarrett after the play.
