Seriously.. When will they start calling holding on Orakpo more often?? is 5 enough so far???

[martytheman]

4 sacks and 5 holding calls so far...When will this start being called regularly?? The guy beats tackles to the edge routinely, yet holding has only been called against him 5 times this year (6 counting the one today). This is starting to get beyond ridiculous to me... I know alot here have the same feeling. I know players get held on every play, etc, but this seems alot more regular to me than I've seen watching other nfl games this year.
This thread is a direct rebuttal to this --> http://www.extremeskins.com/showthre...s-about-Orakpo asenine thread.

When is enough enough?? Will they ever start calling this regularly as it should be???

Here's a few quick images from other threads/posts on the internet:

Non-calls on that mother****ing arm bar is going to be the death of my TV.

All I know is that if I were the 'Skins I'd be sending a film cut up to the league of all the times Orakpo was held in every game.

And he's still getting to the QB...Vinny's one good choice turned out to be one of our best picks in years.

Yeah I will be honest its starting to make me sick. I have never seen a player get put in choke holds more than Orakpo in my life. Im not one to ***** about calls and such but its just annoying when your focusing on the secondary and you can easily see Orakpo PLAY AFTER PLAY getting held.

[DarrellsMyHero28]

I'm perplexed as to how it hasn't been called more.

"You can call holding penalties on every NFL play" fine, that may be true but sometimes against Orakpo its really, really damn bad.

[RenegadeTK]

i think refs will take notice of what is going on with him and begin to keep a closer eye... because it is getting ridiculous.

It's a waste of time, but why not?

Look at those pictures. Orakpo has the offensive lineman's holding arm hooked in place. A hold doesn't count if you do it to yourself.

Wait, so Vinny is responsible for anything bad from the time he took any position with the SKins but he does NOT get credit for Sean Taylor or Laron Landry or Chris Samuels (people forget he was here then too) ? Seems odd.

It's ****ing bull****. Refs hate us. We just have to play past it. HAIL.

Hooked or no, it is still a hold, and more often than not it isn't being called. I think alot of that is from Orakpo trying to rip that arm underneath the tackle's arm to break free, but from the pics the tackles got a lock on his jersey trying to hold him back. Either way it is blatant holding, whether he "does it himself" or not.

[CMann]

the guy is a freak. i saw handfuls of holds today

ps

im still drunk

Hard to tell if the hold was there before or not, just going by the stills.

Rak should learn some MMA moves and start breaking elbows.

Did anyone else laugh their ass off everytime Buck and Aikman would talk about how Orakpo was suffering statistically, and failed to mention how many holds he's gotten called.

He's up to 5 on the year. 5 times Orakpo has singlehandedly caused the offense to go back 10 yards and repeat the down.

5 more sacks would be preferable, but I"m okay with that kind of effect.
