I know the NFL is all about making it easier on offense and harder on defense. But especially in this last year, coaches and QBs have definitely caught onto the strategy of throwing the ball short on long, low percentage passes. Because it is almost impossible for a defensive player in tight coverage to stop in time to avoid running into a WR who suddenly stops and comes back toward the QB.

I truly think that quarterbacks are throwing it that way on purpose, especially against better defenders, because getting the DPI is a higher probability than completing a long pass against good coverage.

I know this is dreaming, but I would like to see them rule that it is NOT DPI if the WR is moving toward the QB even if the defender does not get turned around in time to look for the ball or if the WR initiates the contact.

I mean, you are a DB shadowing a very fast guy at full speed and staying in his pocket, only to have the receiver stop short or lunge back toward the ball, how exactly are you supposed to NOT run into them?
