IMO, a DB has to have some recourse cuz they have taken every physical technique away from em. Still, the TO shouldn't have been granted since the play happened already..so whether or not it was holding is a moot point.
Dude it wasn't just illegal contact the man was held for about 7 yards. I watched it about 20 times this morning on first take...

Listen it was the Ravens coaches that called the time out and It was before the snap. And before all this happen the raven lost the games for themselves. They needed a couple first downs and they go three and out. Offense didn't really help them out in the end.

That rule got created as a result of Pollian and Dungy complaining about the Pats DB's mugging the Colts wide outs. The game that changed it was that game at Foxboro where Law picked Manning off 3 times I believe. It was snowing and Edge was running the ball down their throats but they decided to go to the passing game. Bad mistake.
lol...if you say so..but IMO it's a crock of [censored]...so you can see it ur way, and I'll see it mine. I guess I just get fed up with this semblance of what was at one time pro football..but now is nothing more than a political racket. IMO they don't need all these new fangled rules that have come about in the last 10 years or so. A long time ago "in the grasp" was the bane of the league...sad thing is, it's only went downhill from there. Let the players decide the outcome at least.

A DB should be able to make contact downfield until the ball is in the air, IMO.
I don't care why it was changed...football was fine for decades before it. The way I see it, a rule shouldn't be changed just to fit so and so's personell..

Yep, without it we might as well just play basketball...IMO the NFL has done nothing good by crippling defenses vs. the pass.

Listen it wasn't just contact, he held his jerzey for about 7 or 8 yards. All refs are going to make them calls

I never said it was. I didnt see the play, so I cant say what happened. Im just stating my opinion on league rules.
