In the run-up to and at the beginning of the 2012 NFL season there was a lockout of the regular referees who were demanding higher wages. Until the third match day, they were therefore replaced by referees from lower-class leagues. During this time, Schrein was hired as a back judge on his own initiative . Together with his colleagues, he received intensive training courses over several summer weekends. He also attended training camps with the Philadelphia Eagles and the Baltimore Ravens . His first assignment in the preseason he had on August 11th in the Houston Texans game with the Carolina Panthers . After a total of three preseason games and three regular season games, his time in the National Football League ended when the lockout was lifted at the end of September.

In the following years, shrine resumed his work as a referee at high school and college level - sometimes as a side judge . On January 26, 2013, he was part of the refereeing team at the Senior Bowl , in Mobile ( Alabama was held).
