Regarding the video, the center official seemed totally oblivious to the contact that happened right in front of him. I have to agree that stepping in to get the foul on White #4 could have helped minimize the chance the brouhaha even occurred.

While I'm on that point the T is way too high and not connected to the play. He can't help the C from way out there and that is the secondary failure here. Put him down around the 28-foot line and he will be far more comfortable whistling the contact just inside the FT lane.
PS Finally a fight video of an actual fight! That was a true melee.

Even with bad positioning, the C is oblivious to the first couple of blows also. That a total lack of game awareness.
I've been working hard all season on staying connected to plays as the Trail, and using the 28' line as my home base.
