Can a hold be considered okay as long as it doesn't directly impact the play?

I got a kick out of that when I read it last night.

By the letter of the law? No. It happens. Some of it I get because we don't want a hold on every play, but way too many holds get ignored or missed.

Would you expect anything different here? Especially with LSU and Bama on their annual pre game by week trolling spree?

Very incisive question. Clear, and straight to the point.

From day one of peewee football you teach O linemen to hold on the inside of the jersey.

Hands on the shoulders and steering is bad
Hands on the chest and pushing is good
Pretty simple actually
What is really hard is what they let WRs get away with blocking on the outside and on the second level

This! I've always wondered why they call penalties other than personal fouls that a by referee judgement has no. Impact on the outcome of the play. Ex:block in the back 25 yards behind the guy running in for the td.

On the flip side, I always wondered why offensive players even come close to holding when they know where the play is going.

Best official and crew in the SEC easily.

Man they literally hold every play... All good olines just get away with it.

The only way to stop holding is go back to the old rules from the 70's and outlaw any use of hands..you used your forearms and shoulders to block.
