First, you can't judge the play in slow motion. You need to watch real time speed in order to judge hold/no hold. The game is played at a ceratin speed and officiated at the same speed...when you slow it down, you loose all perspective.
I have the reciever initating contact (rememeber he is still a potential blocker if A is running a sweep to that side). My philosophy has always been that if a reciever wants to be treated as a reciever he needs to avoid contact. He needs to establish that his intention isn't to block. In this particular play, if the reciever tries to avoid contact, I'm more likely to consider holding.
