Doesn't everyone?

He's held every game. That's what linemen do when they get beat.

 

[JayFord]

If they call it every time the game would be 5 hours long

if the other team doesnt hold then Micah wouldve broke the single season sack record by now and thats no exaggeration hes THAT good

I guess you don't know who Marcus Rock is.

This is what they said in basketball but the reality is that players and coaches will adjust. What wee are getting is players and coaching taking advantage of the way its called to their benefit. It makes breaking the rules desirable which should be the opposite of policy goals.

Hope to see these holding calls go Parsons way. The more attention it gets the greater the chances of refs calling it down the road.

no but 11 right now, yes ...

there were 3 blatant hold that weren't called on him, a roughing took an INT away and fumble overturned that shouldn't have been., a facemask that was so bad only the zebras missed it , terribly Officiated game.

Who cares, for any reason, what Dean Blandino thinks about the NFL? He is the initiator of the "process of the catch" nonsense, which the NFL had to later admit, was incorrectly applied (through a league office phone call to the game officials) to Tony Romo's best chance to get a Super Bowl ring. For a stand up comedian to move to NFL director of officiating, is a joke on all of NFL fans in general. He never officiated a game... not once.

Personally, I will never listen to any word that ever comes out of his mouth. He is muted during all football games.

Isn't Blandino part of the mob??

Isn't Blandino part of the mob??

I want to commit physical/mental acts of violence against him.
In Minecraft of course.

 

[Fizziksman]

that is a type of hold a player does when he knows the team has gotten away with murder all game.

 

[G2]

Parsons should have to count to 5 Mississippi.

Then change the freaking rule and don't call it all.....this is the poorest excuse for not calling penalties. That's why fans AND players get mad.....when it is imposed on them and not on the other guy.

Doesn't everyone?

Not @MarcusRock lol.

 

[TwoDeep3]

Doesn't everyone?

Well, no, Big Dog. It appears the owner's spawn and some of the fans here think "you can't call a penalty on every play." And that is acceptable.

The best edge rusher in the league should not get special treatment. But with all the hubbub about this guy, how can the ref watching the action not keep an eye on a guy who is wrecking the league with his abilities? The potential for a violation is apt to be between the offensive lineman and Micah.

But I guess I am a lunatic thinking that rules are there for a reason. I mean this is certainly not the NBA with the star rules.

Maybe that is the answer. Same offensive lineman gets four holding calls he is kicked out of the game.

Or maybe we should just ask Dez what he thinks about the rules.

 

[JBond]

I guess you don't know who Marcus Rock is.

Never liked the person that truly believes they are the smartest person in the room.

Humor is one thing. Being an *** is different.

Let's Go Cowboys!

 

[TequilaCowboy]

There were some even more obvious....one the tackle had him with a half nelson move in wrestling and nothing called. The TD Micah scored who would have thought he was out of the play. Very weak excuses. Either call them or get rid of them. Not leave it up to officials to be subjective or give preferential treatment, unless that is the purpose from the beginning.

 

[CWR]

@MarcusRock I think you made an excellent point with the rip move. You definitely educated me, so credit for that.

The real question is how many of those "holds" were legit vs how many times did he use the rip move?

Don't get it twisted though, I still believe Dez caught it. Lol

 

[MarcusRock]

Wait, so NOW we believe Blandino knows what he's talking about? If so, then he knew what he was talking about back in ol' 2014, right? Right? Lol.

Seriously, I respect his opinion as a former head of refs and I can see his point if the TE blew the block and Micah was by him when he yanked him down, but the TE stuck the block good enough with a grip firm enough to be able to do what he did while Fields moved away from that side to toss right. Parsons would have only been able to affect things unimpeded or immediately defeating the block. Someone made Blandino's point in the thread we were all discussing this and my answer is the same here as there, which is that the TE did enough to make Parsons backside. Of course if the throw goes to the TE left or even a fake there you can call it.
