Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley, who was flagged three times for illegal formation penalties vs. the Chiefs, says the NFL was trying to 'make an example' out of him.
Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley says NFL officials were trying to "make an example" out of him during the team's season-opening, 27-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.on Thursday night, including two penalties on the Ravens' opening drive, and he feels that he was unfairly singled out by the league in an effort to crack down on the infraction.
"We knew that they were going to make a new emphasis on the illegal formations," Stanley said. "And we were talking to refs in OTAs actually. We got pretty good clarification. We were doing a good job in OTAs and all of a sudden today, the refs, whatever calls they made, it's their decision."Stanley's teammates Patrick Mekari and Rashod Bateman were each flagged once for illegal formation, but the Chiefs did not receive a penalty for the infraction.
"Second play of the game, first pass play of the game," Stanley said. "No warning before that. I thought it was a little different. The way it was going through the game, I really feel like they were trying to make an example and chose me to be the one to do that." "As far as I saw, they weren't doing it on both sides of the ball. I know that I was lined up in good position a majority of those calls they made.""It must have seven or more players on the line, who may lock legs. Eligible receivers must be on both ends of the line, and all of the players on the line between them must be ineligible receivers. No player may be out of bounds.
