Watching the Colts Texans game, I can only recall seeing one defensive holding penalty.
This week, in the news, the head of officiating came out and said that he is "happy" with the number of calls being made per game, and that the new ticky tack penalties on the secondary are being called right. It seems quite coincidental that they would release that statement during the same week as the owners meeting.
It would seem to me that the owners told Goodell at the meetings that fans hate these new rules. The owners must have voted unanimously to stop calling defensive holding. Goodell had a statement released that the league loves the way the new rule is being called, while telling the refs to phase it out over the next 2 weeks.
I bet we wont see that call more than once, maybe twice (once on each team) this weekend.
This is better news than if Kyle is cleared to play. For all intents and purposes, our defense just got better.
