[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 79154, member: 231"] I have seen that before. I think it is coached by the opposing D's to try and engage for a beat or two and slow down our pulling linemen who clearly are just trying to get to the second level. I am not saying this is a strategy meant to draw chop block calls but rather that it is the flip of how we want linemen to "brush" and then go past. The result is a greater chance of an official mistaking what is happening in real time as a dangerous chop block. I don't think these kind of mistakes by officials bug me as much as letting too much holding go uncalled. I do hate bad calls here but at least it is over something where player safety is the motive for the rule. On the others I want officials to get it right more often because it is all about gaining [I]unfair [/I]advantages. I want to see better play and execution decide OL-DL encounters not who can hold the other guy the best. I was really annoyed at the several face-mask penalty's that weren't called in our first two games. [/QUOTE]
