Honestly at this point I think when Hutch gets held he should just body the dude. Fuck the penalty, the refs will actually start to have eyes on him

Elite DE dont get those calls. He has to beat them in expect a bit of a lull in his production until he figures out how to break out of holds

Like most of the rules in the NFL rule book, this one has a lot of nuance. Unfortunately. Rule 12, section 1 where blocking and use of hands and arms is defined is three or four pages long. No shit.

Offensive holding has 9 exceptions. No shit.

So rule 12, section 1, article 3©, in the extra subsection marked Blocking notes states quite clearly: "When a defensive player is held by an offensive player during the following situations, Offensive Holding will not be called: . . .

(i) if, during a defensive charge, a defensive player uses a “rip” technique that puts an offensive player in a position that would normally be holding.

And Hutch got hisself a nasty rip move. So whenever he uses it to beat a defender, they’re allowed to hold him. Sucks, but it is that way for every DE in the game.

Is he? Pull up the stats.

He been very average last two games

Rams fan here, Hutch isn’t any different then Aaron Donald, There should be a holding penalty called every other play but rarely is, Just think of it this way the Lions have an Aaron Donald caliber player in Hutch

You think that’s bad, wait till you see who is heading up the officiating crew this next game. Oh yeah, this is going to be pathetic.
