Holding them up

Nice look at what is holding and what isn’t on Freeney and Mathis

:39 – Peters is fine at first but once Freeney’s back is to him & he tries to spin back out, he holds around Freeney’s arms/shoulders to keep him from moving. This is not allowed.
1:36 – Peters left arm extends past his left shoulder to keep Freeney from turning the corner, Vick scrambles so Freeney turns back around making it not as obvious but it’s there.
2:10 – Celek one-on-one holds Freeney very clearly.
2:40 – LG holds Freeney with both hands and arms extended outside of his right shoulders. Vick is scrambling deep in the back field and an unimpeded Freeney would have caused major trouble. The hold makes him a non-factor.
4:00 WR Jason Avant holds Freeney, it is really clear with his back to the camera and Freeney between him and Vick. As a result, Vick gets off a pass.
