Good News. AD speaking up on holding. Hopefully NFL takes action.

One can tell he's frustrated by the holding calls but doesn't really bitch about it.
Double teamed and held, and still gets pressure on the QB.
If the refs opened their eyes then Donald could be on for 25 sacks a season.
I'm glad this is being highighted in the media.
 
Sort of like Shaq. He was fouled just about every time he touched the ball but refs couldn't call it.

Not sure why AD doesn't get a few more calls.

One for the sports book this @flv. Do the rams get a holding penalty on AD this weekend? I reckon so.
 
Has to be a point of emphasis.

660 last year to this time...357 this year.
So for there to be that much of a difference there had to be a change in the definition of holding or the enforcement of holding penalties circulated. Is there any way of getting the NFL to publish new rules/enforcement of rules that would help clarify this years variance. Noting that homers like me feel Donald has been victimized for years.
 
Maybe if the officials would call a hold or 2 on the 1st series of the game players would stop holding AD on every play. They dont have to call it every play, although they could, but just enough to make the OL aware that they are being watched.
 
Anybody notice this with crap Mon. night? Between plays. That's Blythe btw. There was another time that player (was it Suh?) did this same thing during a play, uncalled of course.

Well it seems this has had no impact so far. In fact, in McVay's weekly show he mentioned AD was held on several key plays and they are sending footage to the league office (again). SIGH.

He also said it is less than satisfying when he hears "Yeah, we missed that one." You'd think when this happens this often, the officials would be instructed to watch for this, dammit.

I am going to have to watch the ALL 22 and see these holds.

This is a bad week since it is month end closing for me this week, but maybe I can post some of these blatant holds when I get a chance.

AD played with afire in his belly vs the 69ers. He damn near carried the Rams on his back to victory. I didn’t see that same fire vs SEA or TB. Was that due to the competition or did he have a chip on his shoulder?

C'mon man. Wussel and Brady were pissing in their pants when they saw AD coming towards them and threw the ball early on many occasions, leading to incompletions. And he freed up other guys to make plays. He played great in those two games.

.
 
I seen more holding calls for the Ravens at Steelers game than the 49ers at Rams last week. AD99 should have gotten at least 5 holding calls per game. And if the refs actually did their jobs, those miss holding calls would have been the differences between going undefeated and losing 4 games.
