I don't think it's clear at all that he WAS lined up illegally yesterday. Not even with the 'blind eye' treatment. I think the officials couldn't quite tell because he was covered by a WR so they called it because he looked like he might be.
The holds against Jacksonville were egregious, especially the 2nd one. Those were plays where the officials just decided he must have held even though there's just no basis for the call.
They're deciding he's committing a penalty unless they can convince themselves he isn't. That shit's backwards.
It's not even about how he's treated relative to other OTs (though yes, that's absolutely horseshit). It's about how the rulebook is applied to him period.
And you're happy to let them do it. "Who cares if he's technically within the letter of the rules - be MORE legal..."
That's asinine.

Do you have a clip of the illegal formation from the game against Chicago? I can’t find it anywhere.
