Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Justin Fields, and Mac Jones. 1 hit out of 5 on top 10 QBs so far. Obviously no one knows if a guy coming out of college is going to be able to play in the NFL or not. At least Jones has started consistently.
He also had the benefit of the fact that the other 10 guys on his offense on college were NFL or near caliber and usually better than the other 11 guys on defense. He doesn't have that kind of talent disparity in the NFL.
Doesn't look like holding at all to me. #11 was a retard, because if he turned his shoulders it would have been if the KC guy didn't let go. Very good job by #79 keeping his arms in tight, which is exactly why holding wouldn't be called there.
People are losing their minds over this and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because it's not a hold. He's inside his frame the whole time, that would be the weakest holding call in the history of the NFL.
This is the correct answer. #11 was too busy fighting with the lineman to actually draw the penalty by turning toward Mahomes.
That's not going to get called unless the defender tries to disengage from the lineman. Which never happens. The defensive player keeps both hands on the KC lineman the entire time.
Except that never happened in this play. Nothing wrong with grabbing the other player here. The bigger question is why did #11 go full retard and decide to dance with the KC guy instead of chasing the ball. Who knows, but that doesn't make it a penalty.
LOL how is this not trying to get away? Am I taking crazy pills?

No we can use this gif. Watch all 3 other Jets linemen use various techniques to disengage from their blockers that don't involve staying squared up to their blocker. The guy at the very top of the screen disengages from TWO blockers. The guy in the middle of the scrum is getting "held" just as much as #11, but notice he twists his upper body to get away. And the third Jet to far left is actually hand-fighting with his blocker to disengage. #11 is just an idiot.LOL how is this not trying to get away? Am I taking crazy pills?

The reason I say it cuts off early is because right after that he is literally trying to pull away, AKA disengage. I dunno how else you are supposed to disengage.
Dip your shoulder, twist your upper body, release a hand from the blocker and use a down arm break.... LOTS of different techniques defensive lineman are taught to break the block of an offensive lineman. He used none of them.
