..that footage on Hankins getting mauled, is rare. Keep it for souvenir. ;)
The only reason that Center was able to shove Hankins so hard into the turf was because Hankins had turned his back on the Oline while trying to spin around that double team. Had Hankins been facing them, I doubt they would have been able to shove him that way into the turf.

That crazy SOB will simply not learn, it's been years and no matter the amount of time I spend yelling at him to 'Contain the edge!!!" he simply won't do it.

Drives me crazy.
Yep, trouble is he also gets tackles for loss that way too. It's feast or famine. Simply playing fundamentally sound setting the edge and turn everything inside where Hankins has created a log jam , allows your LBs to run free to gaps. Here is the issue backwards, certain LBs don't fire through there gap and allow themselves to get block, which is made easier because an Olineman got to the second level because the Dline they are blocking can be moved with one guy, therefore making DLaw hero ball of crashing inside acceptable unfortunately. That should no longer be the case with big Hank in the fold.

Whenever our prized rookie Tyler Smith tosses a guy to the turf its an instant holding penalty. IDK you were allowed to throw a defender to the ground.
Should that slam on Hankins been a flag. Didn’t they flag Tyler that…

Holding penalty exceptions, people. I'll repeat them until the cows come home (see what I did there?).

RULE 12
ARTICLE 3. ILLEGAL BLOCK BY OFFENSIVE PLAYER.

Blocking Notes:
(1) When a defensive player is held by an offensive player during the following situations, Offensive Holding will not be
called:

(a) if the runner is being tackled simultaneously by any defensive player;
(b) if the runner simultaneously goes out of bounds;
(c) if a Fair Catch is made simultaneously;
(d) if the action clearly occurs after a forward pass has been thrown to a receiver beyond the line of scrimmage;
(e) if the action occurs away from the point of attack and not within close-line play;
(f) if a free kick results in a touchback;
(g) if a scrimmage kick simultaneously becomes a touchback;
(h) if the action is part of a double-team block, unless the defender splits the double team, gets to the outside of either
blocker, or is taken to the ground; or
(i) if, during a defensive charge, a defensive player uses a “rip” technique that puts an offensive player in a position
that would normally be holding.

Two penalties could have been called on that play. First, the throw to the ground could be called holding. But then, a player on the ground is considered a defenseless player. It is illegal to make a forcible blow to the head or neck area of a defenseless player. These would have been close calls but under the rules either could have been called.

I think they need to work on their angles of pursuit, but it won't be every week we play a QB as elusive.

Drives me crazy.
He is supposed to be the best Run stopper in DEs ( go figure), I hope Sam williams will get some more snaps soon.
