Last nights game

I shake my head about the new offensive holding rule.
I already thought NFL called too many holding penalties as it is, but now it's going to be so much worse.

Quote:OFFENSIVE HOLDING
Offensive holding will be more strictly enforced this season, particularly on the back side of the run play or line of scrimmage. Referees will closely monitor play at the line of scrimmage to ensure that offensive players do not materially restrict opponents or alter the defender’s path or angle of pursuit.

Material restrictions include but are not limited to:

grabbing or tackling an opponent
hooking, jerking, twisting, or turning him
pulling him to the ground.
