I think that is absolutely the case. The NFL has a ton of really strong edge rushers who probably get 30 sacks a year if the NFL didn't give the OL some wiggle room. I'm not a fan of it, but offense sells.
so we just ignore things like this? BS
The league was and is doing that to protect the qbs. I saw that they started calling the tackle in the back field in preseason. I wonder if they will call that on the Chiefs or if they will continue to let them do it when the season starts.
Well Im Saying did the league get a tape form the Dallas cowboys explaining what was going on?
Quinn wasn't helping any of his defense by hiding upstairs in the booth. He should have been down on the field SCREAMING at the officials watching the Olines.
I wonder if in the future they can jsut change the rule. Maybe the offense still gets the yards and the down still counts but if the tackle holds you get 5 yards penalty. Or any tackle with 3 holds has to take their pants off
THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and the always excuse of "he's being doubled!" lol
No excuses, just go and get to the QB, double teammed or SINGLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you. My single worst thing about Cowboy game days is the red crying. I also thought we had another week before the Ref brigade appeared. I was wrong.
Even though he should get more calls than he does, Marcus Rock (the official champion of officiating) is right concerning what's allowed by OL on certain moves used by defenders. When defenders make a swiping up move to knock an OL's arm off them and it causes the OL's arm to end up around the defender's shoulders/neck, it is not a penalty. So officials are generally going to allow OLs to put an arm around the defender's neck to restrain the defender. They look at that as a natural movement caused by the defender.
So we probably need to change our view of holding because it's not going to be called if Parsons uses a rip move and it "causes" the OL's arm to go up around his neck. It's going to look like holding to us, but officials are not going to call it unless they are sure no rip move was used. Unfortunately, rips are often used by defenders to get OL's hands off them.
The year is over. You want everyone else to keep whining about it over the offseason just because you can't let it go? Wait to see how often it happens this year before you get upset over it. Here is a hint. He is going to get held, a lot, just like Watt and the other great pass rushers
Yes, they did last year. Did it work? Unfortunately it did not seem to last year but at the very end it seemed he got a couple of calls so let's hope. Also, supposedly the league reviews every game with the officials, but that didn't seem to help either I guess.
Parsons gets held more than the next two guys combined and it isn’t even close.
I’m biased of course, but it seemed like Micah got held on every other play. I mean I saw dudes with their arms wrapped around his neck and it didn’t get called. Often!
And Quinn wasn’t on the sideline cussing out the refs. Big problem with DC Quinn. How are you going to get on the defense when they’re playing bad when you’re up in the clouds eating hotdogs? Ok, never saw him eat hot dogs, but he had access.
and so you just say
No. I just don’t cry about things. Every great pass rusher is held constantly. There is holding on every play.
Did Parsons use a rip move to get himself in that position? Because it's not a hold if he did.
