Use of hands while blocking

[mikesears]

My two cents worth (I am on my soap box)!


I really dislike the phrase, "You could call holding on every play". I, myself, have been guilty of saying this after watching teams with poor execution play. However, I disagree with the statement in general. I've seen enough really good teams that don't typically hold (not even a technical infraction) that I wonder where this phrase originated. I feel it is a sweeping generalization officials overuse.
