ChiefsPlanet - View Single Post - Football What would happen if defensive holding was just a five-yard penalty (no first down)?

Not that the NFL will ever allow anything that minimizes scoring.... But if we're going to play fantasy fouls, how about O-line holding be allowed to be an automatic 4th down? IOW, if defense holding can adjust the downs by 4, why not offensive holding?

Oh, and start actually calling offensive holding! Perhaps hire two more officials dedicated to watching for the O-line holding since the Referees and Umpires seem to miss 98% of the shirt tugs (the very definition of defensive holding) and half-Nelson's put on the defense's necks who are rushing the QB.

Yeah, never mind, the NFL won't ever do it.
