Mike Tomlin NFL needs to provide clarity

Mike Tomlin wants clarity. Tomlin didn't rip the NFL's officials on Tuesday, but he did ask for clarity -- something most of the league Ryan Goins Jersey would probably agree with. The i sue? Nobody really knows what warrants an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, which has led to some questionable penalties through the first four weeks of the season.One of Tomlin's players, receiver , has been flagged twice for celebrating in the end zone. And that seems to be why Tomlin is asking for an explanation. "We have to get some clarity in terms of what's legal Chris Owings Jersey and what's not," said Tomlin at his weekly pre s conference Tuesday, "I know he doesn't want it to be a negative thing. He wants to provide positive energy for us and entertain our fans. But we have to get detailed clarity on what he can and cannot do. You've got to acknowledge some guys are followed more closely than others. You saw that last night with (Odell) Beckham. AB is probably one of those guys and he probably needs to respond accordingly."Brown's celebrations appear to be breaking the "sexually suggestive" aspect of the rule. . left one-on-one?It's over.TD ! His Michael Saunders Jersey second of the game! NFL (@NFL) Brown isn't the only player getting penalized for exce sive celebrations and taunting. pretended to and got flagged Sunday. A lineman simply jumped up and down near a defender and got flagged. to sed a football toward an official and when the ball hit a player. On "Monday Night Football," got flagged for nothing more than talking back to a Kansas City Royals Jersey player who might've hit him late on the sidelines. Yet, because Beckham is Beckham, he was docked 15 yards. As Tomlin mentioned, Beckham is targeted more than other players, though Those are just a few examples. There are more. Deadspin already wrote an in-depth article on this topic, It includes many more examples (and some NSFW language, so consider yourself warned).Anyway, here's my not in-depth take on all of this: Make football fun again. NFL out of control Melky Cabrera Jersey on taunting crap. Let the players have some fun. Damn. Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) So, here's the good news: that NFL vice president of officiating Dean Blandino said the league will spend time on this topic in the weeks to come. In the meantime, until the NFL provides some clarity, Brown might want to stop thrusting after he scores touchdowns if he wants to avoid future penalties.
