"Our guys need to be disciplined. Last year in Preseason Week 1, there were 40 offensive holding calls. This year in Preseason Week 1, there were 120 offensive holding calls around the league. "
It's interesting some of the advanced analytics guys have been looking at the idea of running on 1st down recently and some crazy number of holding penalties get called on 1st down runs, more so than any other running attempt even when adjusted for frequency. This is causing some analytical coaches to consider using quick passing plays/screens as their 1st down run play over the traditional running play.
