Itsnottatooma Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I'm afraid I have to show my ignorance here. In the rams/bears game, the rams were twice called for defensive holding on a running play. Can somebody explain to me how that could happen? Does that mean the refs are thinking the RB could throw the ball after taking a handoff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 No, it usually means a defensive player grabbed and held one of the offensive blockers, preventing him from making a second block on the play. As Theismann mentioned, it's penalty that was instituted VERY recently (last couple years, IIRC), or at least hadn't really been called until recently.

bushwacked Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I once saw defensive holding called on an extra point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
