On the facemask penalty, where was the outcry for this? Does this mean that ALL grabbing the mask is 15 yards or only the more egregious? This will be far more difficult for officials since there is an all or nothing element to something that if they weren’t quite sure there would be at least some penalty.
They just can’t keep from screwing around with things that aren’t broken, IMO.

Carry outs are against the rules, other articles I've read on it have mentioned this.
The receivers have been given enough compensation on everything else that the db's SHOULD get something.
