Chuma the chump

This cuts off the guy that Edoga was focused on blocking. There was a guy on the inside Edoga was trying to pick up, but if I remember correctly the defender was sort of half heartedly rushing. Linemen are supposed to take the more inside guy if they have to choose.

Edoga was wrong here because he should have stayed on Chubb but I don't think he was crazy.

10 games without a holding call for Parsons. And four or five games for the entire team. Really hard to believe when one or two of those being called could have turned the game last night.
It’s like the refs are another OT on every play Parsons plays edge

I would put a big, beautiful pink slip under Edoga's tree this morning.

Just duct tape Waletzko's shoulders in place and fire the new Alex Barron.

And yet we get called for holding every game it seems.
The one Tyler got called for was borderline, and he's an all pro type player, not some scrub. Micah gets held way worse multiple times every game.

I think I hit my breaking point on this. You hate to go there on ref blaming, but this is so blatant that something is obviously going on besides "missed calls."

Maybe, but I'd be interested in seeing how many holds other elite guys have drawn over the last 10 games.

This is TJ Watt

He's drawn only 6 holding calls on 713 snaps on the year, a rate of 0.8%. Yeah, totally believable the league's best EDGE rusher and previous DPotY is only getting held at that rate. This is a problem all elite EDGE rushers have, but it's pathetic seeing the NFL's indifference. Gotta protect that QB play!

Im sure that is 6 more than Micah.

Totally agree.

There's a Myles Garrett holding tracker on Twitter too. It's not just Parsons I'm sure. But what's the point of having an elite edge rusher then? And as Geng pointed out, we get at least one ticky tack holding call against us every game. We don't even get the benefit of those, or haven't for the last five games.
