Defensive Holding

Get rid of so many defensive holding calls by DL who are engaged at (or near) the line of scrimmage.

I have never seen this called in real life, yet it routinely plays a part in determining the outcome of games here in the MFN universe.

This only ever happens IRL on screen plays, where a defender diagnoses the play late and snatches at the RB to prevent it. We don't have screen plays, so this shouldn't happen here.

Here is a good example of what I am talking about.

I don't think this should have been called a penalty.

Goota let this one go. So many defensive holds happen and are not called. I would say there is a defensive hold on every pass play. It is not called unless the CB is using it all game.

The qb should not be tageting a blocker. So many real problems before a wrong defensive hold was called.

I use these plays vs a offense that passes to backs alot. Its like the saftey sack. So easy to get one.
