The problem, as you noted, is that it's become a catch-all. And that's simply not the case in all instances and wasn't the case here. Watson wouldn't have done anything differently had he turned his head - he couldn't have with Adams in full stride. He was exactly where he should've been to defend that pass.

Too many times you see the same amount of contact with no call as long as the head is turned.
I dont' have an answer here. It's a bad rule.
