[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 878567, member: 10086"] Not. Fortunately I have the time and resources to rewatch it, did you? I just reviewed that play 4 times both freezing motion and regular speed. Kirksey set and edge with a OL attempting your engage and block him, as he surged to make the play in the flat,, he did a nice job of beating the OL and literally got tackled by the OL (much like you see with Edge Defenders rounding the QB pocket) as he rounded the corner. Kirksey immediately raised his hand on the ground with the OL laying on top of him, in what looked to me as an appeal to a foul. In my opinion he was clearly held. No flag was called, but it was very arguable it should’ve been. We see this regularly where OL get more latitude holding on blocks than other positions would, which is fine.. had a WR hooked him and tackled him like that, it was an obvious foul. The key here for me was he never relinquished the Edge, which was his responsibility and forced Henry to go due North and kept him in the middle of the field. At best you could argue he was 50% at fault if you called OL hooking him a legal block. Henry scampered 80 yards, initially through the middle of the field, where was the secondary? Furthermore, in comparison, 0% chance was Blake Martinez going to out athletic a pretty good initial block. Blake would’ve been fully engaged and pushed back 8 yards out of that play. Personally, I’d rather see my Defender tackled as he aggressively beats the block -2 LOS verses back peddling and getting squared up like Blake did consistently 4.2 yards downfield. [/QUOTE]
