When I watch a Football game, I love to focus on what I consider to be the heart of the Sport and that is line play.
To me there is nothing like watching a pulling Guard bend a Blitzer in half with a well angled and well timed block. When a lineman holds - and here I am talking about pulling a D lineman down or sideways after the o lineman has been beat, I am not talking about grabbing his pads over his chet an locking the man down tight - all it means is that he has been beat. How many holding calls negate long runs and scoring plays because an O lineman got beat and held his opponent? Denver is constantly drafting and TEACHING O linemen how to play in space and move their feet while it seems most everybody else just draft miniature Apt buildings and teaches them how to hold and not get caught.

I'm guessing you're the kind of guy that thought the NHL shouldn't make any rule changes to open up the offense? The NFL would go south in a hurry if zebras were painting the grass yellow on every other play while scrutinizing holding calls. It's just not practical.
