Chris de Sperg posted:It does get called but it really shouldn't because there's nothing wrong with hits like that honestly I suspect it's a matter of enforcement. Refs can't be expected to distinguish between fine points in real time. The intent of the rule is to protect the quarterback, and it doesn't matter whether he meant to do it or not. Similar to the philosophy of the roughing the kicker rule. Linemen are expected to learn to slide to the side on a tackle and not land on top of him. If that proves impossible or unfeasible, they may change the rule, but landing on the QB will get you a flag nearly all the time whether you actually intended to drive him into the ground or not.

I vaguely remember some rumor that they claimed he was impossible to work with through the free agency process and they blamed his brother or something. I'd guess they probably just didn't want to give a lot of money to a guy who didn't play for most of 2013 though.

Grabbing at the sleeve and at the collar's "V" in the front aren't often called, and linemen are encouraged to do it. They used a clip of Suh grabbing an O-Linemen by his collar throwing the linemen towards the ground while propelling himself through the line.

With holding aren't they also looking more for a player be restrained by the hold, not necessarily just grasping the jersey?

DangerKat posted:With holding aren't they also looking more for a player be restrained by the hold, not necessarily just grasping the jersey? Usually, they're looking for a wrapped arm or pulling on the uniform of a player that is trying to run away from a blocker. If both players are actively blocking each other, like we see in the gif, then its not holding. Holding on the offensive line usually happens when a lineman gets beat and has to break the rules to save the QB from being eaten alive.   Here's another really good one.  It's a run play, so it's not a broken protection but a whiffed block by a lineman. 63 clearly missed his block; the defender never engaged in a block with him and was running towards the play while 63 impeded him. It's very likely he would have saved the 2-pnt conversion if he hadn't be held. The lovely part about these examples is I'm pretty sure neither of them were called. Nobody makes gif's of holds that got called and puts them on the internet. To take the time/effort to showcase a hold, you've got to have a certain level of outrage.

The Puppy Bowl posted:Was it ever explained, at all, why the let Veldheer go? At some point during their talks Veldheer appointed his brother as his agent. According to the Raiders camp they became impossible to work, feelings were hurt and he eventually took less money to go to Arizona rather than staying in Oakland.

I mean, dude blows, but he can occasionally get an interception which is why he continues to stay on the Bears and not riding the rails.

will_colorado posted:oh dear. And Hurns is reportedly super duper hard on himself when he messes up. Seriously, his first two NFL catches ever were for two touchdowns, and he was reportedly pissed because he missed a ridiculous Hennebomb later on in the game. He was also in double coverage most of today's game. And now he's broken. Hopefully he heals up soon and becomes the bellyest of cows for bort.
