The NFL wants you to believe this is not DPI

[Hawk-Lock]

Both were horrible calls. Both were blatant DPI. Simply just more NFL refereeing rubbish.

I don't think the Fred Jackson one was DPI. Their feet got tangled and the defender fell on Fred. Anything when the legs get tangled is considered incidental contract.

Sweep the leg defense.

Cheat if you can't get the cartoff. Ppppting clearly in desperation mode.

The play involving Smith was blatant. I ranted at the TV for 10 minutes on that one. Just no excuse for not throwing a flag there.

Not sure that the Jackson play was much less blatant. Maybe slightly and you have the defender looking at the ball a bit more but it still looks a lot more like PI than anything else.

In real time on Sunday i thought Smith's was way worse, as when i saw Fred jax's i just chalked it up to him being a running back and not playing the ball properly.

Upon review, Freds looks almost worse. Just a complete last ditch effort by the backer to fully take out the legs and try to get away with leg tangle... Which was successful for them.

Jackson is very good as a receiver, so let's squash that notion right now.
