To me it was pretty blatent.
If you watch the replay not only is he screening he contacted the receiver before the ball arrived. It's the type of play they use in official school as an example of pass interference. I just don't understand what the official (right there to see the play fully) thought he was seeing considering we saw a flag in the endzone last week against the Stampeders where the ball was uncatchable, overthrown by five yards and Edwards then runs into Smith causing a flag. I realize the game is fast and nobody is perfect but these guys have been doing this for a long time and I suspect they let their emotions get the best of them way too often in addition to the league mandate that the Riders make the playoffs and Grey Cup to secure television ratings.
