DPI is kind of like a strike zone in MLB… as long as the referees make it clear how they are going to call it and call it the same way for both teams.
Unfortunately, MLB doesn’t do this well ever and lately NFL referees are struggling with this as well.
Problem in football is you have refs on different sides of the field so even if each ref is consistent themselves they may be inconsistent between each other. So things that you get away with on one side may end up being penalties on the other. Football is so fast and these calls are so subjective. Need an eye in the sky.
Here's my thought on the eye on the sky thing:
There's so many penalties every play, how do you have a real game? There's always a lineman holding. There's almost always some form of pass interference.
How do we get through the flag on almost every play in every game?
You’re not wrong. Need cleaner football or different rules.
