Pass interference on Vikings' overtime TD vs. Saints? Ex-NFL refs says yes

 

Quote

 

No flag was thrown for offensive pass interference. But at least one former NFL official thinks a rule was broken during the play.

"It is illegal for an offensive player to extend his arm or arms and create clear separation from the defender. That was OPI," former NFL official Terry McAulay tweeted shortly after the game.

John Parry, a former NFL official who works for ESPN, echoed McAulay's assessment.

I think the officials on the field let it go because the DB had hands on the TE too...what amounts to 'chicken fighting'.  I don't think the officials wanted to touch such a tight call in the playoffs with a 10-foot pole.  I think it was a judgement call and nowhere the blown call like the Rams game last year.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.

      Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
