I might give you the no-call on the OPI, but explain why you think the DPI call was correct?

I'm not saying it was correct or incorrect. The only decent camera angle is still not that great (behind the receiver and defender). However, to say it's a "phantom call" is bullshite.

What we can see:
The DB was playing the man, not the ball. By the time the DB turned to pick up the flight, the receiver was already attempting to make a play for the ball. The defender impeded his opportunity to receive a catchable pass. Receiver's reach for the ball probably triggered the flag. Had he not done that, I'd lay odds it would have been a no call.

Close call?.... you bet.
