Micah on if referees account for his speed when assessing potential offensive holding penalties

[cowboys5xsbs]

“To be honest, and in the most humble way ever, I don’t think there’s another rusher like me in the league. I don’t think there is a rusher that wins as quick as I do. There’s not another rusher that does the things that I do. That’s on tape. … They put me on the same pedestal as other rushers and we’re just not all the same. … I don’t think they realize that I’m 4.3 coming off the edge versus some dudes might be 4.4, 4.5, whatever. … I think the refs understand that I’m a good player but they don’t understand the actual plays that I can make with my speed and what I can control.”

Micah is so good the refs can't understand his greatness

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Micah is great, just ask him, he'll tell ya.

This guy and all threads you guys make about him being held. He is his own worst enemy. I would rather have 2 team players than an all star like this clown. He needs to **** and play.

I'm not sure that was the most humble way ever, and I'm a great judge of such things, probably the greatest ever. There's never been another judge that judges like I do.

Does your mommie make your bed for you in your own room also?

Naw, you need to just watch...

He has a point. Miami's players held him over and over, and the refs didn't do jack.

"Put on the same pedestal as all the other rushers"?

What was his Wonderlic Score?

3?

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

The Refs also don't understand what a great run defender Micah is.

He runs so fast right past the running back, the refs should just award him the tackle just because he ran real fast! (Even though the RB made it 20 yds down the field without being touched)

I don't get how they always seem to catch pivotal holding calls against our o-line?

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Mazi should teach him how to be slow off the snap

 

[fivetwos]

So his point is that he is so good that the rules are different for him?

If that’s the case it’s a waste that he is as good as he is. Maybe Stephen should bring that up when it’s time to use all the cap money those sly dogs have been saving up for him.

Although….maybe he does have a point in a certain way. I’m certain that NFL refs are briefed to error on the side of keeping QBs on the field, and they probably do allow an extra grab when he beats an OT badly…which is much more often than anyone we have seen since Taylor/White/Haley.

I just wish they would be more consistent with make up calls lol.

Let us get away with them also if you’re gonna do that to Micah in order to protect your product.

As the pundits say, there is holding on every play. The rules allow for judgment by the refs on when they want to call it or swallow the whistle. What an awesome instrument to control the flow of the game and shape the outcome! Repercussions from the NFL office for bad or blown calls? Not when the boss signs off on it.

They catch some....but just like with any team, they only call 10 or 15% of the Holds our OLine makes that are HOLDS by the rule book. We get away with hundreds of Holds a season. Every team does.

Micah is right and getting hosed by officials.
