Referee who no-called hit on Baker's head in Tampa has been assigned to Ravens game
-
Last season, Hochuli's crew set an NFL single-season record by assessing 253 penalties for 2,164 yards. His crew called 25 more penalties than any other crew and 84 more penalties than the NFL's low crew.
What a joke! He sure isn't like his old man. Send him back to arena ball. (Pitzer college?)
Shawn Hochuli is a National Football League (NFL) official. He wears uniform number 83. He entered the league in the 2014 NFL season and was promoted for 2018 from back judge to referee, following the retirement of his father, longtime referee Ed Hochuli, and another veteran official, Jeff Triplette.[1]
Shawn HochuliOccupation NFL official (2014–) Hochuli played college football at Pitzer College.[2] He worked his first NFL season in 2014 as a side judge.[3] He has also worked as an official in the Pac-12 Conference,[4] Arena Football League,[5] and arenafootball2 games.[6] On August 13, 2011, he was head referee for ArenaBowl XXIV between the Jacksonville Sharks and Arizona Rattlers. He also worked as head referee for a 2017 pre-season game.

As the un-official BB Referee whisperer ?.. I was almost done keying this story up "as a main concern on Ravens game".. But hell, ask anyone here.. i ain't that good at typing that up^^^... I will add...Shawn f'n Hoch-u-slezz has not seen a Ravens game he has not liked..Shawn is 6-0 calling winners to Ravens..0-5 calling Browns games.. 4 of the 7 crew members are the same from last season when Shawn was in his 1st season as head referee.. He started in 2014 as a side judge..His Daddy Ed ?, still holds referee training camps during his retirement in the off season...here's what i really don't get? Shawn & 1 other in his crew have been calling games for 6 years.. the other 5 have 11-11-15-20-21 years of calling NfL games.. if were sending the older guys out to pasture cuz the game is getting over officiated for their memory lapse? Hell do us all a favor. stop fleecing the Canadian refs & bring in some WWE x-Divas
u betcha, she could pull some chains

I had a little time on my hands and looked up that pitzer college from the link on the football program. A brainiack type college but no real football to speak of:
The school's athletic program participates, in conjunction with Pomona College (another consortium member) and are named Pomona-Pitzer. The teams participate in NCAA Division III in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Once known as the Huns, the school's sports teams are now called the Sagehens with their mascot being named Cecil the Sagehen. Their colors are blue and orange.
The Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens ranked 19th among all Division III schools and second among SCIAC schools in the 2016-2017 Learfield Sports Directors' Cup Division III Final Fall Standings, which ranks athletic programs and awards points relative to their finish in NCAA Championships.[69]

I would have thought this crew was working last nite...
I do not know how you miss the helmet to helmet that occurred at the end of the Eagles first punt.

It’s a legal hit as long as he didn’t lower his head to initiate contact

Which is what he did...
ARTICLE 10. USE OF THE HELMET. It is a foul if a player lowers his head to initiate and make contact with his helmet against
an opponent.
Penalty: Loss of 15 yards. If the foul is by the defense, it is also an automatic first down. The player may be disqualified.Head does not have to be fully lowered so as to strike with the "crown"... the "brow" counts as well. Same as in college.
By contrast the subsequent hit on Williams was legal from a helmet-to-helmet standpoint. The blow was delivered by the eye-shield. It was just obscenely late.

As the Green Bay coach said, I don't know what pass interference is anymore. The one he challenged that didn't get overturned.

Yup... PI is this year's "catch"...
But little by little... last nite we learned a DB can open hand uppercut a WR to the chin without worrying.

I am guessing there is ZERO accountability for ref's mistakes. Even if they repeat. But a few that were not overturned on replay...
even their retired referree commentator thought it should have been. Not good.

Agree. There was one where the defender was not looking back, but grabbed the receivers left hand just enough to knock it off the ball as it arrived, but not called. The challenge did not overturn the no call and to me it was clearly impeding the catch.

I’ve watched CYO football, little league baseball and HS football games where I am shocked at how well and consistent the games were officiated. I’ve seen their mistakes too. Funny how they all seemed to have a better understanding of the rules than your average Ill trained, underpaid NFL ref. And the owners know. For whatever reason, it certainly isn’t by accident.

That had to hurt!!!
CYO game speed is a tad shy of NFL... so there's that.

Do they still have CYO leagues anymore?
And yes there are even some differences between high school and D-II and D-I and the pros ask anyone who has made the jump up.
I had a neighbor who was First team All Ohio DE and went to the B1G and told me everyone else is big something there. The pros are even better, faster, stronger and playing for keeps.

Yes there are youth leagues. But it seems safe to say that while players are coached up the officiating falls behind. Part time makes it just kinda sorta okay. Certainly not a profession. Even though it is professional football.

No issue with you there, doug...
After all this time it's hard to believe that the NFL still does not have full time officials.
MLB understandably does with what approaches a year-round, 162 game schedule... ditto NBA (82) and NHL (80).
That means is that each bad/missed call is magnified by the NFL's compressed 16 game schedule... not to mention its single-elimination playoff system vs. best-of-7 in the other major sports.
It's past time for the owners to open their wallets and make their Officials "Pros".
In the off-season they can review the rules and refine them to make them work for them... and us.

The NFL referee situation always baffled me as to the requirements and other details. BTW they just very recently signed a new 7 year agreement with the NFL I have not seen the new details but it runs through the 2025 season.
The current deal was through the 2020 season but they wanted this deal DONE no strike this time. In the current deal in 2019 the referees averaged $201,000/yr plus playoffs.
They also used to be required to have another outside job, why would you need that now?
Great gig if you can get it, and remember that the NFL is loaded with cash the referees salaries are a small drop in the bucket for them.
