Gene Steratore is heading to the Super Bowl for the second straight season Drew Lock Jersey , this time in a very different capacity.Steratore wraps up his first year as CBS rules analyst at Super Bowl 53 in Atlanta on Feb. 3. He will be in the booth with Jim Nantz and Tony Romo whenever a replay decision or officiating call needs interpretation as the Los Angeles Rams face the New England Patriots.a 35-year career as a football and basketball official. He had been an NFL official since 2003 and was a referee for 12 years. His final assignment was last years Super Bowl between New England and Philadelphia.Im maybe a little more nervous about this game. Its good, nervous energy because theres the lack of 35 years of experience (in television), Steratore said in a phone interview.Steratore was in the networks New York studio on Sundays during the regular season, but he did work the Chicago-Detroit Thanksgiving game in the booth to get used to working with Nantz and Romo. He has been part of the crew throughout the playoffs.He acknowledged he had a learning curve at the beginning of the season but has gained confidence throughout the year.He has a lot of natural ability to articulate what we need in a short window. Ive been able to carry on a conversation with him as if weve been doing this for years, Nantz said. The way the rules are these days I cant imagine operating your show without someone.Viewers of last Sundays AFC championship game between New England and Kansas City didnt hear much from Steratore during the first three quarters, but there was a period during the fourth quarter when Steratore was offering more analysis than Romo.Julian Edelmans apparent fumble of a Kansas City punt was reversed because there was no clear evidence that he touched it. Chiefs receiver Sammy Watkins also had a reception nullified when replay showed the ball hit the ground when he was unable to maintain clear possession.A catch by the Patriots Chris Hogan was upheld even though one angle showed he wasnt able to maintain possession before it hit the ground. There was also a roughing-the-passer penalty against Kansas City defensive lineman Chris Jones that Steratore thought was the wrong call.We had about a 15-minute period where it was the Gene Steratore show, CBS producer Jim Rikhoff said. He has fit in perfectly with what we have done. He has a natural chemistry with Jim and Tony Andy Isabella Jersey , and I am sure he will do a great job next week.Steratore is also hoping the Super Bowl wont have the controversy that marred the two conference championship games. The non-pass interference against Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman in the NFC championship game against New Orleans has continued to resonate.Its an egregious mistake in that it is a foul. We dont need to dwell more on the fact since coaches, players and officials all understand the magnitude, Steratore said of the call. I know the officials agree and admit that it was a mistake.What I hope to always remember is how hard and fast this game is when you get between the lines. You probably are never going to work a perfect game.Steratore has been at the center of controversial calls over the years. He was the referee in 2010 for the Calvin Johnson touchdown that was overturned and made process of the catch part of the NFL lexicon.Five years later in the NFC divisional round, Dez Bryants catch was overturned when it was determined he didnt hold the ball throughout the process of going to the ground. Last year, the NFLs competition committee simplified the catch rules.Steratore thinks the league has done a better job of defining the catch and making it easier to define possession. When it comes to other matters, he admits the job of officials continues to get more difficult, especially at a time when many veteran officials such as Steratore are retiring.It was going to be a tall task this year with four referees leaving Jamel Dean Jersey , implementing the helmet-to-helmet rule and a couple of other rules that were points of emphasis, he said. The game gets harder every year. We dwell on the major mistakes made year in and year out, but I dont know if this year was worse than years past.The calls from the championship games also showed why each network has a former referee working games. Steratore was hired after CBS didnt have one for two seasons. Rikhoff said with networks going to commercials during replay reviews, that gives Steratore more time to review the play, look for the right angles, then be able to form an opinion.Football wasnt the only sport CBS hired Steratore for. He will also be a part of the CBS coverage of the NCAA basketball tournament. Steratores hope for the Super Bowl, though D.K. Metcalf Jersey , is that he wont need to be used that often.Being in Atlanta for the week and watching what happens, the excitement is tremendous, he said. I think with all of this not only an official but as a fan of the game, we want the players and coaches to decide it. ASHBURN, Va. (AP) The Washington Redskins have promoted Kevin OConnell to offensive coordinator after he previously served as passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach.The team announced OConnells promotion Tuesday along with other changes to Jay Grudens coaching staff. Matt Cavanaugh, who had been offensive coordinator the past two seasons, is now the Redskins senior offensive assistant.The 33-year-old OConnell previously was an assistant in San Francisco and Cleveland and was considered a strong candidate to land an offensive coordinator job elsewhere in the NFL before Washington gave him that title.Washington also said defensive line coach Jim Tomsula will return for a third season. Earlier this month Nick Bosa Jersey , the team hired Nate Kaczor to replace Ben Kotwica as special teams coordinator, Ray Horton to replace Torian Gray as defensive backs coach and Brian Angelichio to replace Wes Phillips as tight ends coach.
