He also got away with a blatant hold on Saquan's last long TD run.... Refs have been choking on their whistles all day. Why have rules? I say that and I was sort of rooting for the Eagles.
I think you mean pro bowl. Creed Humphrey and Frank Ragnow are the 1st and 2d team all pro centers. Pro Bowl is a nice recognition but it’s not the same as all pro.
I’ve noticed that in the games today. Just because it’s cold and snowing in a playoff game not much of anything is being called
I think they need to either just get rid of holding OR lineman have to wear what would essentially be oven mitts.
The rule is just soooooooooooo subjective and the price for the flag is huge.

Yep. I mean you can call holding on every play even in HS . The official pick and choose when and where to call it. That’s wrong . I think the Oven mitt idea is actually pretty creative.
I mean, why not right?
It makes sense and it would make "holding" almost impossible. So try it out in some preseason games and see how it goes.
We KNOW that it is not called at the rate it should be called and that is fine. We are okay with that, but, take it out of the refs hands and put oven mitts on the lineman.
It will sure as sh*t be more than it has been. By "many many many" are you trying to turn this thread into another anti-Rhule circle jerk?
Our previous regime produced 2 2nd rounders in 4+ years
I hope you’re right and our current regime produces more than that
It really isn't subjective, there is the rule as written in the rulebook, but every league, conference, division, and level has a philosophy of what a hold is and isn't and when it should be called. All college is similar. NFL has their own and published a video explaining what must occur for a hold.
The hold must fit into a category and must have material impact on the defender's ability to make a play, be at the point of attack, and the offense must gain an advantage. The only subjective part is if the defender had an ability to make a play on the ball.
Offensive Holding | NFL Football Operations
Couple examples of "holds", but won't be called.
1. On a pass or run to the outside, the opposite side tackle holds the DE. This won't be called because the defender wouldn't have made a play and it wasn't at the point of attack.
2. Pass play, interior DL gets held, but DE makes a sack. This won't be called because the offense didn't gain an advantage and defense sacked the QB.
My point exactly. As someone who has closely watched his play all year long, the expected drop off has not occurred.
Never said Cam was a HOF'er.
