July 21, 20159 yr comment_135649 Glen Johnson is the problem.Glen Johnson doesn't make the rules. He is also not the one who decides how the rules are to be enforced.Refs get their weekly feedback from him on how to apply the rules. The Rules Committee and BoG tell Johnson how they want the rules interpreted. It's not his or the officials' fault if they do that and penalties go up. Johnson cannot change the way they are to be interpreted unilaterally.
July 22, 20159 yr comment_135657 Remember coaches are also involved in the recommendation of new rules.
July 22, 20159 yr comment_135658 What has been the biggest influence in reduced scoring? Significant injuries to starting QBs last season and already this season.

He isn't going to unilaterally decide to overturn rule changes that the BOG implemented 4 weeks into the season. That is over stepping his authority.
July 22, 20159 yr comment_135672 Don't know how many of you have noticed, but they rarely call offsides on the receivers this year...it has to be pretty blatant.

I don't think anyone is saying that...he is charged with getting the refs to enforce the existing rules properly

I know but interpretations can be quite "flexible". The rule changes were a big off season push from the league. Glenn Johnson isn't going to decide on his own that they should be applied more "flexible" unless the commissioner directs him to. He is doing what he was told to. And he isn't the one that can "decide" to change it.

Glen Johnson has considerable influence on how games are officiated.
