Yes I agree any pulling, grabbing or twisting has to be called. But what about the runner giving a stiff arm to the defense right on the facemask. Had a coach go ballastic because that wasn't called, although all he did was give him a stiff arm, no grabbing, twisting, pulling, etc.

There's a reason the book says "Grasping the facemask". No grabbing = no foul.
