Mike Vrabel attacked the inconsistency in the markings of the NFL

Mike Vrabel emailed the NFL officiating department, all head coaches and general managers in the league

After a tumultuous week for the NFL and its officials, the league emailed an officiating video to all coaches and general managers, as it does weekly. But this time, a head coach was frustrated enough to answer everyone.

The coach of the Tennessee TitansMike Vrabelsent an email to the arbitration department of the NFLevery head coach and general manager in the league, with some polite but biting words.

The email response from mike vabel says: “I appreciate the time and energy that goes into these videos, but I suggest that we spend every minute of our officiating departments’ time making sure that our officiating teams are well-trained in the clarifications that we work on in the off-season and that each group to be as consistent as possible. Thank you.”

It is believed that mike vabel answered everything intentionally, wanting to send a message and emphasize that the NFL you need to correct your refereeing mistakes. His message echoes a constant refrain from various executives and coaches around the league seeking more consistency in marking.

The competition committee of the NFL plans to discuss unnecessary roughness penalties against the quarterback after the season, amid league-wide outrage over a pair of controversial Week 5 penalties: one on Grady Jarrett of Atlanta and the other about Chris Jones of Kansas City. According to sources, the issue will also be discussed on Tuesday when the owners of the NFL meet in New York.

Jones suggested that roughing the passer penalties be subject to video review. That decision must go through the competition committee, made up of six team owners/executives and four head coaches.

The owner of the Indianapolis Colts Jim Irsaypointed to Associated Press on Wednesday that he would support repeating these sanctions, saying there is “too much inequity with what can be challenged and reviewed and what cannot.”

Despite the complaints, penalties for roughing the passer are down 45% from last year. Until week 5 of 2021, 51 were marked, while this season there are 28.
