Dean Blandino on Micah holds

NFL offices like, we'll just wait until he's passed on the field with no neck until we do something

 

[FanofJerry]

Dean...the side stepping, dancing word-smith.

Talk your way around it, Dean.

I agree with Blandino to an extent. The more you fight through holds, the less officials will notice them. However, you can't just give up fighting so the holding call will be made because there's a good chance the officials still won't call it. It needs to just be continually harped on until the officials get it. Not by Micah but by the media, by the team, etc.

What are you all saying?

That Micah is being held...but he is fighting through them so fast that officials cant/dont see it?

Thats blasphemy.

Its reaching for excuses. You cant talk your way out of this.

I believe this was posted in another thread. I considered this position by Blandino. And the comments made by others who suggest this will not change. Partly because Parson's doesn't sell the hold well. Or he is such a brutal man he plays through the hold, which confuses the ref. Or the incompetency of the refs. Or the refs just aren't calling them. There were many options postulated on this subject.

I'm not so certain I agree with the outcome others proffered.

I believe now that Blandino has spoken, there could be a change in how these infractions are ruled.

However, back in the day Joe Gibbs of the Commanders sent a short video every week to the league officials pointing out issues where the refs didn't make the right call, or any call at all. If I recall correctly, that did have somewhat of an result in favor of the Commanders. Perhaps Jerry should take a cue from this and have the video team create a Parson's is held video every week and inundate the league with visual evidence Parson's and the Dallas Cowboys are being unfairly treated.

I'd like to add I used the original name of the team from Washington D.C., the one Dallas thumped yesterday. You will note the board changed it to their current name.

So I will go back to calling them the Commodores since using the name they played under for decades is verboten. Silliness abounds in these latest days.

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

Incompetence likely has something to do with it but I don’t think it’s the whole story.

 

[CowboyChris]

I was at the KC game last year, and they held him almost every play. totally ridiculous

 

[ZekeTrain]

It is happening enough that they should know to be on the look out for it and aren't. I'd call that intential.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

you suck blandino !

 

[Rayman70]

Dean Blandino has nuthin on Freddy Astaire.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Since there has been a holding call for Micah Parsons....FORTY-TWO QUARTERS???

Maybe it’s getting attention which is a step toward fixing it. Blandino telling me "it’s not intentional" doesn't make me fell any better about it.

 

[DallasEast]

Bottom line they're missed holds on him but it's not intentional.

If true Deano, there are two remaining explanations:

1. Your officials are legally blind
2. Your officials are incompetent

They run around the field for 60 minutes without colliding into players, yardage sticks and themselves, so the answer must be...

 

[john van brocklin]

Waiting for an OL to put Parsons in a choke hold?

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Seems pretty suss to me. Just excuses at this point.

 

[nalam]

I guess Parsons is proud and fights through the hold, in order to sell some of these holds , he should take a dive or feign neck injury ( I am just kidding, but it is really frustrating. Also when he is double or triple teamed it’s a mystery that someone else get to QB , D- law got once which caused the Wilson pick , but we need more )

He's fighting through them instead of being completely restrained or taken to the ground, so the officials notice the holds less. I think it's only human to notice a player who is charging past a defender who is suddenly stopped or pulled down to the ground than one who is slowed but keeps moving toward the QB.

That's not an excuse for it. A hold is a hold and there's no reason for none to be called for this long.

 

[Gambit]

So Deans answer is don't be so good

The team may already be doing this, but if not, it certainly should be. The only way to change it is to keep after it.

He can say what he wants, but after watching it all season its definitely intentional.
