What teams "O" line gets away with the most holding?

Since I live in central New Jersey I get to watch all the Giant and Eagle games on regular tv. In the past 5+ years I have noticed that the Giants "O" line gets away with more holding penalties then any team in the league.

What do you think?

The Giants, especially Burress. Dude is mugging people on every running play.

How can one objectively answer this question without seeing each team play at least 6-7 times?

I know I haven't so I have no clue as to which gets away with the most.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone hold as much as Al Johnson.

Us, I think the refs are getting tired of calling holding on every down.

To paraphrase John Madden...

Holding happens on almost every play, it just depends whether the refs see it and call it.

I seriously can't believe the amount of guys who still believe in Al Johnson. The guy get's shoved back 10 yards before Bledsoe knows where any of his receivers are.

I'm no Bledsoe fan but it's a little difficult throwing the ball when your center is getting shoved into your chest.

They all hold and it is a matter of when the refs want to call it but I "saw" alot of holding with the Chiefs. One TD Larry Johnson made our D line was getting mugged.

It's Gurode who apparently can't shotgun snap, and I'll take getting shoved back versus letting a MLB burst thru untouched and steal the ball from Bledsoe before he can hand it off, anytime.

They've used the shotgun plenty with Johnson at Center. Don't let me get in the way of some good propaganda though.

That still doesn't make Al Johnson a good center (which is the point here) just because he happens to be marginally better than.........Gurode of all people.

Well, I guess you can thank Purcells for that, because that's all we've got. I don't watch every game a hundred times and analyze plays thirty times over, so I'll leave the defense or lambasting of Al Johnson to someone else.

It's obvious, at least to me that you don't rewatch the games.

But that's neither here nor there.

Carry on.
