Since the NFC Championship Game pass interference debacle, the NFL's penalty evaluation has been placed under a microscope. That came to a head Tuesday night, when pass interference was made reviewable on a one-year trial basis. This means that coaches can now challenge both calls and no-calls on pass interference.

The reasoning for this -- besides the shadow that the no-call in the Rams vs. Saints game cast over the Super Bowl -- is that pass interference is such an impactful penalty that a missed one or a poorly called one can result in a huge swing. Defensive interference can go for any amount of yardage, so it's important to get these calls right. Detractors of the new rule are concerned about pace of play and the ticky-tack nature of many defensive backs downfield.

"The NFL overreacts, in general, to everything," Danny Kanell said on Wednesday's "Off The Bench." "I can't stand it because they're so reactionary. I wish they would play ahead of the game a little bit more and get out in front of things. But remember the Dez Bryant catch ... when Dez Bryant has the catch, and it hits the ground and they implemented a new rule because of that which they actually took off the books last year because it was so confusing."

Kanell and guest host Tommy Tran talk more about the new rule and its potential repercussions. Kanell believes that pass interference will always have a subjective element that makes it hard to pin down. He adds that it's just another overreaction by the NFL to the backlash from the Saints, and it likely won't change the difficulty in calling interference correctly.

The NFL is hoping that this situation will be different, and Tran reminds us of Roger Goodell saying "we have to get the call 'right.'" Obviously it's not that simple, but hopefully this is a step in the right direction. Kanell adds that the chances of that happening against are "1 percent or less" -- but the NFL seems to be trying to avoid having it happen again under any circumstances.
