I noticed that a number of the penalties are occuring when starters are in - i.e. Late in the first quarter, Ken Simonton's 30-yard kickoff return to the 32 was ruined by an illegal block penalty on Aaron Schobel, resulting in a drive start 20 yards farther back at the 12.
The natural inclination is that penalities should go down when starters are in but because those starters have other things on their mind and do not get as many reps on special teams, is it possible that the reason for penalties is too many starters playing special teams?
