Legion of Boom: Intimidates Not Only Opponents But Refs Too?

[Seahawk Mike]

Didn't BB and Kam both get called for very ticky-tack PIs against the Texans? The refs didn't seem so intimidated.

It's not pass interference where they get an advantage, it's all the contact and holding they do before the ball is in the air .

It's also the mauling and beating they deliver away from the play... when coverage turns into "blocking"... how many times have we seen Sherm, Browner, etc. pop a receiver or knock them on their ass when they're not even involved.... that's the shit that really gets under opponents skin and takes them out of their game...

That is a great point...Greg Jennings in the end zone vs Browner or Steve Smith vs Sherman....they are amazing at getting the other players to lose their cool

Throw in White and Garcon too. Probably many others too.

Lol...this is getting hilarious. Anyone got a clip of the ref that flagged Browner for the PI where the ball was out of bounds and uncatchable? If he was pissing his pants, the guy may be on to something

Yeah, that was a terrible call. Good point. :snack:

The Refs are not intimidated. This is silliness.

Yeah, it is. But, at least it's silliness that perpetuates the growing legend.
