How about some love for the refs on that Gallup touchdown?

So proud of them for getting it right. Now can we complain on the number of holds against Micah not called?

Parsons rip move is always secondary the the OL grabbing him because he is so fast that he always gets under the OL without a rip move. That's why Marcus point on this he has always been using is moot!

Read Post #54, fanboi. I deliberately used smaller words so everyone can understand. Parsons doesn't typically use the rip move as a reaction. He's the one that initiates. The rules are written exactly that way to boot and that was the one difference on this particular play. Now, if you can actually use the rules to instruct me on how I'm wrong, I'd love to have that debate. But we know where that road leads, don't we? Lol.

You got a hold on Micah. Even a roughing against Dak and not Brady. Y'all still not happy? Lol.

I have to say, it didn't look like a hold to me. It does look like most other plays where Parsons uses a rip move. However, the only thing that was different here is the OL anticipated the rip and put his arm across Parsons' body first and Parsons did a rip as a reaction (it looked like he planned on it anyway since it's his favorite move). If you read the way the exception in the rule is written, it's the OL who is reacting to what the defender does and the D's action puts the OL's arms in that position. So if the rip didn't cause the placement, then it could fall under a hook/twist/turn, which is a hold. The other thing they flashed on the screen right after is that OL is the most penalized player in the league, not just OL, since 2015, and by a wide margin. So that doesn't help his case.

Appreciate you admitting you didn't think it looked like a hold. At least you're consistent with it. I disagree with you, but I do appreciate you not being wishy-washy about your interpretation of the rule.
