Sierra Foothills Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago (edited) I don't have too much objection to how roughing is called in the NFL. There are plays where you see the defender will let up on a QB hit and plays where the defender doesn't. The latter is what the NFL is trying to enforce. The same is true for "body weight" roughing fouls when the defender has to try not to land on the QB with his entire body weight. In both cases avoiding a foul is possible and refs want to see the defender attempt to lessen the force. It bears mentioning that it usually sucks watching a game with 2nd string QBing. The "roughing" calls I don't like are when they call a "hit to the head" when a defender's hand brushes against a QB's helmet. Too often such cases are not really roughing (excessive force) and aren't deserving of a personal foul, IMO. Edited 1 hour ago by Sierra Foothills Quote
