Twitter: Did Tyron really hold on this play?

lol what a joke... Holding? Come on!

 

[conner01]

No
He does that all the time. What's really amazing is the way he tosses the huge men around

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Yeah, you can't yank a defender down which is exactly what he did. A similar old trick o-linemen use is to fall back but pull the defender with them.

Before I opened this thread I knew what play it was...That was about as stupid as the supposed leg whip he got popped for...

 

[romothesavior]

Who threw that flag? The ref standing right on top of it didn't look like he did, unless he threw it really late (i.e., after the video stops).

Terrible call by the ref

 

[robbieruff]

Probably gets a no call until he snatches his behind to the ground like a man among boys. Ref wasn't actually meaning to call a penalty as much as he wanted to give the DE a hanky for that beat down.

 

[jwooten15]

He grabbed the guys jersey and yanked him to the ground. It's rarely called, but it is holding.

But it is really impressive how much strength he has in his hands alone.

 

[Awakened]

Good Lord he makes that look easy

 

[xvendettax914]

77 Should get a specific rule. The "domination" rule. Grown linemen shouldn't be susceptible to that kind of rag dolling in front of thousands of people.

 

[Stryker44]

Why doesn't he just bullrush Smith?

 

[Crown Royal]

lol that's 100% holding. But funny nonetheless. That poor guy was made into a rag doll.

Dude that's as minor as it gets. Looks to me like Tyron gets his jersey but the guy falls down without any noticeable help from Tyron.

 

[Don Corleone]

The defender fell down. Horrible call.

It was a catch. You'd be blind and homerfied to think it wasn't. It's clear as day both toes are touching turf with the ball in his hands.

 

[Risen Star]

Yeah pretty obvious hold. Lets be objective here.

 

[drawandstrike]

Smith is an emotional player and I hate how he carries on alot with the histronics, but I thought his interaction with Garrett there was funny and they were both having fun with it.
