Sean Payton opens up about why he left the Saints (merged)
That angle for Vinovich is more behind the ball than a direct side view like the other two officials. At Vinovich's angle he wouldn't be able to tell exactly how far the ball was from the receiver when he got popped. And Cavaletto's angle was even worse from his sideline position. The official who was reaching for his flag (and was called off by Cavaletto) had the angle that clearly showed how early the defender got to the receiver. Vinovich did not have such an angle.
This one? That's him on the left.
