Mike Pereira: Eagles were in illegal formation on Philly Special
Charean Williams,ProFootball Talk on NBC Sports 16 hours ago
On second thought, maybe the Philly Special shouldn’t have counted.
After Nick Foles caught a touchdown on fourth down in Super Bowl LII, PFT asked the NFL for clarification about whether the Eagles were lined up in an illegal formation. A league source said the NFL views it as a “judgment call.”
But FOX rules analyst Mike Pereira, the league’s former head of officiating, said the officiating crew, including down judge Jerry Bergman, got it wrong.
“I know the league came out and said that it’s a judgment call, which it is,” Pereira said, via Clark Judge of the Talk of Fame Network. “The down judge, who was the one that [the play] was on his side of the field, they felt that it was his judgment, and [receiver Alshon Jeffrey] was close enough. Well, he wasn’t. They lined up wrong.
“Not only that, it’s a trick play. And if you’re going to run a trick-type play, then you have to be lined up properly. You could either have six men on the line, or you could have an ineligible number lined up at the end of the line, which was the case. I know what the league has said, but they would have been a lot more comfortable if they would have called an illegal formation.
“We always use a yard [within the line of scrimmage], maybe a yard-and-a-half. But that’s two [yards], and even a little bit beyond two. It’s kind of one of those that has no effect on the play. I get it. But they didn’t line up properly. And it really should’ve been called.”
A penalty would have backed up the Eagles to the New England 6, with Doug Pederson facing a tougher fourth-down decision from there. But as Eagles fans are sure to say, it’s history now.

Colin Kaepernick's legal team could depose former Papa John's CEO in collusion case
John Schnatter has been informed he could be deposed in Kaepernick's case against NFL
Schnatter earned criticism within his company and outside of it for remarks he made on an earning's call during the season, blaming the NFL's declining ratings and citing players kneeling during the national anthem for his declining sales. Specifically, Kaepernick's legal team aims to interview Schnatter about any role Cowboys owner Jerry Jones may have played in those comments; Jones repeatedly spoke out publicly against "protesting" players and owns over 100 hundred Papa John's stores and is known to have a close relationship with Schnatter.
Schnatter was quickly out as CEO in the aftermath of his comments. Kaepernick's legal team, which is already in the process of reviewing close to 100,000 documents in the evidence-gathering stage of the case, filed a grievance in midseason against the NFL. They believe one or more agents may have acted with owners and/or the league office to collude against Kaepernick, who never received a workout after being released by the 49ers last year.
His team will probe at possible ties between Donald Trump and NFL owners as well through the upcoming deposition process; Trump is close with several owners and called kneeling players "son's of b------" and imploring owners to "fire" them. Jones, in public remarks, revealed that he discussed the NFL's game-day rules regarding the national anthem, and he is one of several central figures in the grievance. Kaepernick's lawyers will interview several other owners and league officials as well.

I’ve had to zip up my nigga suit once in a while
It'd be great if Bradley Chubb was somehow still there at #7 and then we get Ronald Jones later.

The price of a brick goin up…
Instead of pulling the trigger and trading for Alex Smith, the ‘Skins should of been paitent and try for McCarron. He’s still fairly young, and wouldn’t be a big cap hit. Sadly no one there seems to have the foresight to do anything that requires a brain.

| we past kneeling | Russ trick y’all |
I’m all for shitting on our front office but how can they be criticized for not being psychic? Lol Plus Alex not even a big cap hit in terms of QB’s (especially since majority of that guaranteed bread is for injury) as reported by the local beat guys.
whoa...you mean psychic?
