They’re reporting so fast and going so quickly the defense can’t respond. In fact, the officials can’t keep up.” Dungy believes the officials missed at least one foul with this maneuver during the postseason. “In the Baltimore game, [Shane] Vereen reported as ineligible several times,” Dungy explained. “If he stays in the game he must report again and continue to be ineligible. He must come out of the game for one play or there has to be a time out for him to play as an eligible receiver. On the touchdown drive Vereen played one play as ineligible and then played the next play in an eligible position. There should have been a penalty.”
