[QUOTE="Bruce, post: 35105, member: 196"] It was not only a brilliant challenge because of its timeliness, but because his interpretation of the rules that he pointed out to the officials made it unchallengeable by Detroit. The reason you won’t see it happening more is there is a better than a 50% chance that it will be ruled a fumble and inconclusive upon review. As to the down the field question, if the lineman is engaged in a block initiated at the line of scrimmage they are generally allowed as much as 3 yards as long as they remain within the tackle to tackle box. The holding penalty was called immediately on a running play which was ruled to have been at the line of scrimmage (a non-reviewable) judgment call. The fact that he continued to hold as he was driven back into the end zone is irrelevant – once the call is made all subsequent action does not matter unless it is a different penalty than the one already called – say for instance a face mask or unnecessary roughness penalty… This is a time that even 66 will have to give it up for Sherman and admit it was a on the field coaching decision that changed the outcome of this game.
