Idk. If that's the way you want to explain the TO's then I'd have a couple questions.
1. What are these people in the booth noticing that would force a TO?
2. If they don't like the play call for the defensive alignment, why not audible instead?
Either way, it really does seem like we're more prone to burn TO's. So are we just seeing things we don't like more often than other teams? Seems like something could be done to preserve those 2nd half TO's. They can be pretty important in close games.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
