Yeah, its absolutely ridiculous -- they basically clothesline him all game and he never gets a call. I hope Shanny puts a tape together and sends it to the league office.

It happens to every single pass rusher in the league. Guy needs to adapt and change his game up instead of using that one move. Otherwise, he's just going to digress. Still haven't seen him use a swim move or a spin move to this day.

He's gotten better with his hands.

Once you beat a guy and he hooks you around the neck, not much you can do about that.

Totally agree. That would make him an elite pass rusher and perennial Pro Bowler. Definitely need to add this to his game. Refs may only call the hold once or twice a game if lucky. Last year's opener, Rak was being held all game and the call only came at the end of the game when it mattered. Not always gonna get that break.
