Danny Smith Disagrees With Shamarko Thomas Penalty

Danny Smith was upset over the flag thrown on Shamarko Thomas for his fair catch interference Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.

But it isn’t directed at Thomas. It’s directed at the officials for the call.

Always candid about the NFL rulebook, Smith told Bob Labriola in this week’s Coordinator Corner that he didn’t agree with the call.

“The rule reads you’re not allowed to impeded the progress of the return…there is no halo rule, there is no distance rule, or anything in the pros. You simply have to allow him the ability to make the catch.
