Through the 70s holding on the offensive line got called so often that they had to change it. Back then the linemen could not open their hands and arms to push. They had to use closed fists with the arms locked into the upper torso like you see in very old football card pictures of linemen. And they slapped you with 15 yards instead of 10. That is why the running game dominated at the time. Passing the ball had more repercussions and 1st and 25 was no fun. Not good for ratings. Now on the other hand, today they call way more penalties on kickoffs and punts than they did then, which I cannot understand.</p></blockquote><p></p>
