How long until defenses do a 180 and say … we don’t care if you beat us long … we are selling out to stop the run ..

Ya good question . I think it really depends on the team/coordinator

 

Like the browns last week sold out to stop the run against Henry. But ravens tonight look like they are playing a lot of 2 high against Detroit

Yes. If they can use Hawkeye to spot a tennis ball that's moving 135 MPH and compresses as it hits the ground to within a millimeter, they can use it to spot a football.


It’s not that simple in football though. You’re not just figuring out where the ball is, you’re spotting it at the exact moment when a knee/elbow/butt hits the ground.


They’d need sensors all over every player and better f’n Bluetooth tech to synch it all up than I use to synch my speakers.


It’s possible, but it’s not nearly as easy as fans make it out to be.

Peyton isn't into math, he was jumping out of his skin that the Ravens needed to snap the ball before the 2 minute warning

That’s true. Also, in tennis they use cameras on the lines. Can’t do that in football due to the moving lines and the mass of humanity on the field.

I fully agree.  The fact that they arent using it is insane.  Would have likely changed the outcome of the AFC Championship game last year.   I imagine it has more to do with potential issues with the NFLRA than it does the technology. 


Yeah I think there is a sense of controversy that plays like this generate that the NfL might like and encourage. As frustrating as it is, it almost ways brings commentary and press to these situations. Whether it’s penalties, spotting the ball, etc there is always part of me that wonders how precise the nfl would actually like these things to be. Does it remove some of the contentious discussion that we’ve learned to despise yet continue to rehash? I don’t think they way to entirely remove all gray area.
