most umpires like myself know what holding is and is not---
a flag should be dropped if it is at the point of attack
(i.e.-- the hole that the running play is coming or when
pass blocking)
recently I have been of the opinion that the NFL should allow
holding behing the line of scrimmage----- the defensive players
are so big and fast that an offensive lineman has a nearly
impossible task ------
maybe it's true for all level of football ??
we allow clipping and below the waist blocks on
internal line play but nowhere else on the field--
what is the difference ???
reaction ??
