We've got great officials in this league. Now it's up to us to train them so that penalties are the same in every game. I think we need to be clear that it's impossible for every crew to get every call right. But we need to be sure that going into the game every official's definition of a penalty is the same. Judgment may overshadow that at times, but I know our guys will try to do it. We're going to win the battle.

Nobody wants to be called the No Fun League. But we also don't want it to be ridiculous. We have to balance in here that kids do emulate what our players do. What we deem to be acceptable is not acceptable on other levels, like high school and college.

I can't say it's a concern. I don't track the crews on the number of calls. I track them on the percentage of correct calls, and Johnny's crew is right in line with the percentage of the other crews. I think they've had a couple of games that have lent themselves to lots of calls.

The rule is very specific, ... We have to make our decision based on the rule. Intent doesn't factor into the rule. Does the ball come out after the quarterback's arm is going forward and before he tucks the ball back into his body If so, then it's an incomplete pass.
