what exactly has to happen for holding to be called?

Honestly - defensive guys are just going to have to learn to play through that - you know what I mean. Our offensive guys have been known to do it as well, esp when facing a huge threat. For an offensive lineman, it's a matter of risk vs benefit - they typically don't get the call, so it's to their benefit to risk 10 yards every now and then to keep their QB safe.

"Pass blocking: Hand(s) thrust forward that slip outside the body of the defender will be legal if blocker immediately worked to bring them back inside. Hand(s) or arm(s) that encircle a defender—i.e., hook an opponent—are to be considered illegal and officials are to call a foul for holding."

You would think refs would catch this more on Julius, I've been mad about it all year.

It just seems like Peppers could do something to get freed up of a big slow footed OL. He rarely tries to start outside and cut inside of the OT or try to push the OT's arms away as they meet. I don't think I have ever seen Pep use a spin move. I wish Reggie White was around to show Pep how to do the "Hammer" technique.

I'm pretty sure that if Peppers was to get by the OT and sacked the QB and the OT was still holding one of Peps arms they might call holding. At least they would make the OT return the arm.

    • My only conclusion about that is they either thought both were worthy or Bryce was worthy.  Frank’s reaction hints that - if they were straight with him - they thought either would do.    My opinion was that neither was worth doing that fake but that was before I even ‘scouted’ them I am just against that type of move regardless  A firm policy   If you can trade for the pick, it likely isn’t a generational player in the first place, because people don’t trade those. Get a clue David Tepper   It was such a clusterfug.  
    • KB was always an anomaly to me and hard to judge. He never looked the same after his knee injury and his mom's passing. Grief does strange things to people. I know some people who've bounced right back and I've known some that it just tore apart and it changed their personality and life perspective. He was admittedly in a dark place after that and it just kept going downhill. I always thought that grief may have played a bigger role than we think, or it may not have. That's just one of those I shake my head and say man, I just don't know.
