He played like two games.

He'll probably suck like Brown next year.

“Going to the ground” could be eliminated from catch rule
Posted by Josh Alper on February 27, 2018, 1:26 PM EST

The NFL Competition Committee met on a variety of issues on Monday, including the oft-discussed rule governing what constitutes a catch.

Judy Battista of NFL Media reports that one of the things being considered on that front is eliminating the portion of the rule that calls for a player to retain possession while “going to the ground” for a play to be ruled a catch.

Under the current rule, “a player is considered to be going to the ground if he does not remain upright long enough to demonstrate that he is clearly a runner.” In such cases, a player needs to maintain control of the ball through “initial contact” with the ground whether they’ve been contacted by a defensive player or not.

Battista adds that the committee is also looking at more ejections resulting from on-field fights, a targeting rule similar to college for hits to the head and the possibility of changing the defensive pass interference rules from a spot foul to a 15-yard penalty in addition to a renewed focus on illegal contact penalties in the passing game.

I bet he said this with a smirk.

"I think where we are unanimous," Mara told ESPN on Tuesday, "[are] plays like the Dez Bryant play in Green Bay, going to the ground, the Calvin Johnson play from a couple of years ago. I think all of us agree that those should be completions. So let's write the language to make them completions."

"The Jesse James play, I think should be a completion," Mara said, "but I'm not sure we're unanimous on that. But plays where guys seem to make the catch and then make a football move with it, I think most of us agree those should be completions. Now it's just a question of coming up with the right language."

Pretty good point. Nothing has happened to the Giants yet.
Something tells me OBJ could have exactly the same catch as Dez and it would be called a catch even before a rule change
