Just a quick breakdown that the replays didnt show. After seeing this, it was a quick hold but the ref caught him. The refs job on that play is to watch the gunners and since JBush is a gunner he had his eyes on him the whole play. I think it was the right call... My 2 cents!

About 15 yards down the field starts the hold.

The only reason this is still being talked about is the fact that the cameras were so juked by the trick play and in the heat of the moment no one including the announcers knew what the hell just happened. You cant grab someone from behind and pull them down plain and simple.

You know what I see on these photos? Particularly on the last one?

I see Jarrett Bush looking up to track the ball.

And still getting it very, very wrong.

But then again, in the same time, if he doesn't beat his man as soundly as he did, he doesn't draw a penalty.

That play is Bush in a nutshell. Very physically gifted and hardworking, but just not very smart...

Don't you guys know that yanking on a guy's shoulder pads doesn't count as holding in Chicago unless it's by someone wearing green and yellow?
