Holding and pass interference are probably the 2 most inconsistent calls in the NFL games today. They could call both pretty much every play, and no these calls are not limited to when they are relevant or affect a play. I played and coach at a high level and a very good friend of mine was a 12 year NFL center including 10 with the Redskins. When we watch games we just shake our heads as to what’s allowed versus what’s called. My friend would tell you they were taught that they could hold as long as their hands were in tight on the body of the defender and their arms were not extended. If they were holding with their arms extended or outside the defenders core, they expected a penalty, which makes sense, but the inconsistency of that call is staggering.
Definitely can affect the outcome. The worst for me was the difference between a blocking and charging foul in the 80s NBA. I swear some of those games were rigged.
Cory Raymer?
It is Cory. He did 2 stints for 10 years with Skins and 2 with the Chargers. You could never meet a nicer guy.
They should definitely be careful with him, whatever that looks like your means. It’s hard though to dump a truck load of money on a guy to watch from the sidelines.
I'm glad you said it first!
Personally, I think Pickett looks like Andy Dalton. I think he'll be OK and we may win with him for a few years, but he won't be a star.
I hope you're wrong, but time will tell. There is a lot of room for improvement, for sure.
