Clay Matthews has an idea for his next job

Clay Matthews: Roughing the passer replay official

After this weekend, there has been a push for replay on roughing the passer calls. This wouldn’t be the first type of penalty officials can review. Targeting and helmet-to-helmet contact is already reviewable. Throwing in roughing the passer calls would not be that hard to do. Clay Matthews is throwing his name in the hat to review those calls. “I’d like to be employed by the NFL as THE replay official for all roughing the passer penalties,” Matthew wrote on Twitter.

Lack of consistency is the problem

The problem is not the calls. It is the lack of consistency. Earlier in the year, Tua Tagovailoa was thrown down violently on a Thursday night game. Oddly enough, there was no roughing the passer call. This weekend, a Miami defender made a legal hit on Justin Herbert and put his hands out to catch himself. The referee ruled he put his whole weight on Herbert and called roughing the passer. This shows the consistency problem. Either they both are roughing the passer or they aren’t. Fans simply want consistency.

I think it would be great if Clay Matthews became the roughing the passer replay official. At the very least, the NFL needs to figure out some level of consistency.
