    Looking at that clip, Mitchell wasn't watching the play all the way through. Looked like he was lining up for the hit to make it a legal and hard as possible. Doesn't look like he was paying attention to whether he caught it or not. Which is a problem itself, because if Shazier doesn't pick it off and the receiver misses, it's a defenseless receiver penalty.

    The James hit being flagged and picked back up was worse IMHO though.
