Travis apologizes to Zeke for the holding call.

 

[Ranching]

Seven holding penalties in four seasons is pretty amazing! You have nothing to apologize for. Just don't do it again! lol

 

[John813]

It was his second hold of the season and only the seventh in four seasons.

Wow. Dude is just a beast at blocking and not getting out of position.

Interesting as we go the Vegas odds shift.

Dallas is now 7/1 to win the Super Bowl, just behind the New England Patriots at 8/5.

Westgate had the Cowboys at 14/1 to win the Super Bowl to open the season.

TF didn't have to apologize but it's a nice gesture for sure

 

[DFWJC]

Freddy is an amazing teammate.
What a great comment and explanation. Total ownership.

No wonder Zeke loves these guys--not just the dominant blocking but the attitude.

It wasn't a hold anyway.

 

[Jenky]

It wasn't a hold anyway.

Bingo. Nfl should be apologizing.

At which time Zeke thanks TF for the gaping holes in the line created by his quickness & power. It was a bogus call, anyway. I've loved the play of TF since he was a sophomore at Wisconsin, & I'm a Buckeyes fan! Saw that he was a great athlete who could & did play all five positions on the line. So glad we got him. You have nothing to apologize for big guy. We are just glad you're on our side.

Man. He handled that call really well. Never saying the ref made a bad call.

So I will for him. It was a poor call.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

What a play call.. shot gun draw pulling to the left... absolutely beautiful call. Zeke was patient and read his blocks beautifully.

 

[Idgit]

Love how Frederick talks. He somehow manages to take full responsibility while conveying he thinks the call was utter ********.

For the degree of reach blocking that this zone running scheme requires, that's an impressive stat.

It was a game changing ticky-tacky call. I've seen worse, but in a week where the refs completely made themselves a factor in what should have been the game of the early season, it was another example to point to.

That was maybe the worst job of officiating I've seen in years. Not that the calls themselves were bad, but in terms of an officials group involving themselves in the game play over and over when they did not need to. They weren't 'calling it tight.' They were just unnecessarily involved in the game and interrupting the play when they should have been in the background.

Great point.

It's one of the reasons he's a legit All Pro.

 

[AsthmaField]

Yep. EzE should have had about a buck fifty rushing with close to 200 total yards.

Instead the ref calls a hold that wouldn't have even effected the play... even if it was a real hold.

Travis apologizes to Zeke for the holding call.

Reviewed on my replayed DVR's recording.....
Call was misstated by Refs,then repeated mistakenly by air crew.Leary grabbed and held clearly. Fredericks barely hooked and released,I believe the refs meant to say "65" and missed the number.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

It may not have been egregious, but it was a hold. Saying "meh, I've seen worse" doesn't somehow make it not a penalty or one that shouldn't have been called. Travis admitted it and described the reasons why he understood why it was called.
