Re: Replacing the KO
The more I think about it, the more I come up with reasons why this shouldn't be adopted.
Let's say I just scored and I just want to try to dominate the ball, so I decide to go for this 4th and 15. I call a pass play and illegal contact/pass interference is called on the play. I now get to keep the ball because of an automatic first down? How does that seem fair? The only way I can get on board with that occurring is if it goes both ways. Let's say I'm going for it and one of my linemen is called for holding, I think the ruling should be: other team's ball at my 20. That's really the only way I see it being fair and even then, with the way the NFL skews their officiating toward the offense, it's not really giving the defense a fair shake, in my opinion. If this is going to be a rule, you have to come up with a realistic way to deal with automatic first down penalties. |
