NFL may eliminate "spot foul" part of defensive pass interference

It might be amusing in the sense that, much like the NBA, the foul needs to be as blatant as possible in order to be sure it sticks and effectively halts any chance of the offensive player still making the catch and thus declining it.  I just see DBs literally wrapping up and tackling WRs on a semi-regular basis on this one.  Perhaps not.

Yep, this is my stance as well.  Maybe they could make egregious PI a spot foul, and hand checking/interference where the ball is actually arriving at the point of the foul a 15 yarder.  More gray areas.
