The NFL is completely ignoring its bigge

The NFL is doing nothing to change the catch rule this offseason. Why? This is, by far, the single-biggest facing the league (off-field problems and concu sions not withstanding).No one knows what a catch is, everyone is annoyed by not knowing what a catch is and people in the league continue to act like everyone should know watch a catch is.Even worse: the league isn't doing anything about it.On the list of and Johnny Boychuk Jersey  the competition committee there isn't one mention of changing the catch rule.Former GM and Hall of Famer Bill Polian, part of the "catch committee" with the NFL, and it's just a matter of educating fans and media.  Former and GM Charley Ca  Scott Mayfield Men Jersey serly was on the NFL Network on Monday morning talking about the catch rule and proceeded to say "it's real simple" to know what a catch is.He did so by citing the idea from baseball where you show the ball when you stand up. And he did it while a replay of a receiver dropping the ball played in the background. Granted, of the had po se sion before hitting the end zone (according to the NFL's review at the time) but still, the point remains: a catch is confusing.  And the NFL isn't going to do anything about it.The NFL's VP of officiating, Dean Blandino, told Peter King of TheMMQB.com ahead of the NFL owners' meetings he believes the rule is  Tom Kuhnhackl Men Jersey pretty clear.Control, plus two feet down, plus time, equals po se sion,Blandino said. If you dont have that while upright, and you are going to the ground, then hold on to the ball when you land.Additionally, the league brought in former and current NFL wideouts to discu s the i sue. And still didn't feel like there's a problem.  We reached out to a couple of different groups to try to get more input. We had Cris Carter, Randy Mo s, James Thrash, Tim Brown, Steve Largent, Chad Lewis and join us in that discu sion," Blandino said. "We had former head coaches, Jim Bryan Trottier Women Jersey  Schwartz and Ken Whisenhunt, we had former GM Bill Polian, game official Tom Finken. Everybody got together and looked at the rule, and the consensus was that the rule makes sense, and they didnt see a need to change."But again, they all Jason Chimera Jersey  felt that we just have to continue to educate and teach and use video, because there is a lot of discu sion about the rule."It is literally inexplicable that everyone who is watching football cannot agree what is and what is not a catch but when a group of people meet with the NFL about it, everyone is on the same page.  How can be completely confused about what a catch is but all the current and former wideouts who met with the NFL understand it? Nothing about this makes sense and the confusion isn't going away.
