Guys Define hold? How its written in the books
grasp, carry, or support with one's hands. keep or detain
How the NFL defines a Hold
Use his hands or arms to materially restrict an opponent or alter the defender's path or angle of pursuit.
Lets break this down more ok?
Did he change the WR's path? NO
Was in any way the WR restricted in its path? NO
Did the WR have to adjust his angle do to any of this? NO
Did he grasp even for a single second?
well lets take a CLOSE LOOK
OH WAIT! but this was NOT where the holding was.... BLEEP
Try this video.
Play it. Slow Mode .25 one second mark, defenders right arm? Was that the part of the play they called holding?
interesting twist...
Ticky tack either way plays like this at this time of game? The refs need to let the players play man.
