Holding penalties down almost 60%

Recommended Posts

It's pretty much an annual thing for people to say "why aren't they calling holding?"

Well this year, they're not.

It was mentioned a while back that the league had directed refs to basically only call flagrant penalties. Teams that knew how to get away with holding were expected to be huge beneficiaries of that, and it looks like that's happening. It's also very likely to continue because the league wants more scoring.

Someone should have mentioned that to the refs calling the Bills- Rams game last week. The Rams had the game won until the refs decided a PI could change the outcome of the game. Worst PI call I've seen in some time that didn't involve the Saints...lol

    • It would be nice to see the Canales playbook with a QB that can throw 20+ yards.  Think we'd get that with White. So he throws some picks?  Don't care. 
    • No doubt, Lawrence is supremely more physically talented than Bryce, although that’s a really low bar.  That being said, I asked ChatGPT the other day which WB Bryce Young most closely mirrored and it said EXACTLY Trevor Lawrence.  I was actually blown away by how similar their stats are.  I have heard more recent rumblings that Jacksonville was growing restless with him but without looking at the numbers, I couldn’t understand why.  I had no idea he has struggled that badly for the duration of his pro career.  Watching him in college, he seemed like he was going to be a sure fire franchise QB.  All that being said, I’d still take him a million times over Bryce and alternatives like Mac Jones.
    • I commented on a different thread but I don’t think he’s involved at the same level. Even the media has reported it. Looking back, no wonder he was so involved with Rhule and Fitterer in the same building, I would be too. I think he backed up after 2023. Now, he probably has some type of meeting with Morgan/Canales but probably not like with Rhule, I would want to know what was going on too. I think his meetings with Rhule were probably more like a PIP meeting. You really don’t hear from him much anymore. I think if they were going to trade a certain player (Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, etc) or make a big signing they would get his “blessing” but it’s likely they have autonomy. They could probably bench Bryce and he wouldn’t veto it, he obviously didn’t before.
