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

I think there's many angles we can argue on this but truth be told, we wont know until we start seeing how teams use this in their gameplan. It's significant enough to actually strategize around it on the D side, but really see no benefit to changing it from what it was. Prior to this, if you were burned you had to make a judgement on if the ball is capable of being caught in the air before making the decision to PI. If your wrong? You just gave up a huge chunk of yards. If your right? You saved a TD. Changing the rule will cause a lot of Dre K's to look significantly better and smarter than they are. However, it plays into their wheelhouse.
