If the pass is under thrown and the defender is running with the reciever, no more DPI. It sickens me to see passes that come up 1-2 yds short with no chance of completion being rewarded. I've seen too many games effected by this bogus call.
It is time to stop the DPI call on under thrown balls.

Disagree OP, DBs need to learn to turn and look for the ball.
It is impossible to run and look back at the same time. A few D backs have the ability to turn when they sense the WR is looking for the ball but the skill is rare.
Lol, no it's definitely not impossible. It's a lost art for sure. This is why our DBs under Marvin Sanders were incredible as he did a great job of teaching that technique. I've only seen a few teams that have done something similar in recent years and generally have really good pass defenses as a result. The most prominent ones I can think of off the top of my head are Iowa and Cincinnati.
Bright side is at least it's only 15 yards and not like the NFL where you get it wherever the 'foul' takes place. I agree with @litespeedhuskerfan that I'd like fewer flags overall but especially in the NFL. It's infuriating to watch a team get a legitimate stop on defense only for a magic flag to appear because someone brushed into a wide receiver on the other side of the field from where the ball was thrown.
Except for Offensive holding. Some of those guys are getting away with grabbing and tackling defenders.
