The NFL has had a rough time deciding roughing the passer penalties with the new rules designed to protect quarterbacks and it got taken to another level in Week 5 of the 2022 season.
From Grady Jarrett on Tom Brady to tonight where we saw Chris Jones and Derek Carr on Monday Night Football.
The call was so bad that Troy Aikman told the NFL to take their dresses off when they address the rule in th eoffseason.
Jones was called for roughing the passer because his weight landed on Carr, but what was he supposed to do in that situation? Momentum was going to take him down with Carr.
You cannot expect a defender to try and fight gravity. It’s a losing battle.
