ALL o lines hold,it?s what they do, you act as the riders are the only ones. Let it go already
Never! Not until my dying breath! And even then...
No he is right it is just the Riders.
It's weird... I saw something this year I have never seen before. Perhaps it's because WPG went so deep in the playoffs. Starting in the WSF I saw WPG's OL hold more than I've ever seen them hold. Not quite SSK-level holding, but definitely flag-worthy holding, even by the CFL's diminished standards. It wasn't just WPG... CGY and SSK and HAM were holding like mad too, in the WSF, WF, GC. I think each game saw 0 or 1 holds actually penalized.
The revelations to me were:
1. The refs will "let them play" in the playoffs, for the most part. No holds barred (hehe)! More so this year than recent years.
2. Our OL
can hold with the best of them when it's required/allowed. I guess we must coach them clean throughout the year then let them loose in the playoffs? I actually never knew our guys had that level of "hold" in them... good to see they are disciplined enough to turn it on and off based on the situation and what the coaches tell them to do.
As for SSK... they are on a special level of hold, and they don't just save it for the post-season. They hold all season long to egregious levels and for some reason the refs let most of it slide. And not just their OL: their RBs, WRs, DBs, STs, everyone holds there. Makes me wonder why we don't egregiously hold all year too? Or do refs only let it slide for SSK?
(The GC had a heck of a lot of HAM on WPG DPI going on too, but that's a whole other story...)
