The offensive line of the Green Bay Packers are known for getting away with holds Gale Sayers Jersey , and that’s not just the Chicago Bears’ fan in me talking, it’s a complaint that I see every time the Packers play anyone. The Packers have done it for so long that one of our favorite Xs&Os guys, Brett Kollmann. dedicated a Film Room episode to their technique. The Film Room Ep. 49: How the Packers get away with holding on every playTo me there’s a difference in holding and grabbing. I coached my offensive linemen to grab. Grabbing is good, because referees rarely call grabbing at any level. As long as an offensive lineman’s elbows are in https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Mike-Singletary-Jersey , and their hands are inside a defensive lineman’s frame, they can grab some jersey or the chest plate on the defender’s shoulder pads. It’s when an offensive lineman has their hands outside the defender or when they hug a defender that they get in trouble. If a defensive lineman has a quick and strong rip move, like Khalil Mack does, he’s able to turn his shoulders and get under a blockers arm Dick Butkus Color Rush Jersey , which forces the blocker to wrap his arm around him. The offensive lineman has to then use his feet to get in position to not get caught holding, because it’s just instinct to use that arm to hug. Most refs let that go unless the offensive lineman impedes the defenders progress with their outside arm. But with Mack’s freakish combination of strength and quickness, he’s seemingly held half the game, but in 2018 he’s not getting any calls at all. Check out this gallery of pictures we have available to us from Getty Images and the USA Today.Some of these pictures are obvious holds William Perry Jersey , while others are just Mack quickly getting under the arm with his rip move. They might be holds, but if the o-lineman didn’t clench on the hug they were probably okay.

The second-round pick was joined on the team by left guard Quenton Nelson, who was picked a round ahead of Leonard earlier this year.It is the first time since 1965 that rookie teammates have both been selected to the All-Pro first team. The last two to do so were Dick Butkus and Gale Sayers https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Mike-Ditka-Jersey , so Leonard and Nelson are in some pretty good company.“In both cases they bring a lot of juice into the meeting room, into the weight room. They have infectious leadership qualities,” first-year coach Frank Reich said, via the . “Their love for the game Richard Dent Color Rush Jersey , their love to compete at the highest level I just think is very infectious and you love their confidence to be able to just let that loose.”The selections of Leonard and Nelson to the All-Pro team likely bodes well for General Manager Chris Ballard’s chances of adding the NFL’s executive of the year award to the PFT version he received this week.
