Jacquie Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Glen Johnson is the problem.Glen Johnson doesn't make the rules. He is also not the one who decides how the rules are to be enforced.Refs get their weekly feedback from him on how to apply the rules. The Rules Committee and BoG tell Johnson how they want the rules interpreted. It's not his or the officials' fault if they do that and penalties go up. Johnson cannot change the way they are to be interpreted unilaterally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR. CFL Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 What has been the biggest influence in reduced scoring? Significant injuries to starting QBs last season and already this season. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't going to unilaterally decide to overturn rule changes that the BOG implemented 4 weeks into the season. That is over stepping his authority.

blitzmore Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Don't know how many of you have noticed, but they rarely call offsides on the receivers this year...it has to be pretty blatant. Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know but interpretations can be quite "flexible". The rule changes were a big off season push from the league. Glenn Johnson isn't going to decide on his own that they should be applied more "flexible" unless the commissioner directs him to. He is doing what he was told to. And he isn't the one that can "decide" to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Johnson has considerable influence on how games are officiated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
