I hope the refs start to call some of the holding that will be happening. The overlooked the holds against AD constantly when it was just him. AD was held so much that if they did throw the flag every time, offenses wouldn't have been able to do anything and as great as AD's career was, it should've been even better.
Now that Garrett is here too, the OL will HAVE to hold someone, maybe multiple people and if the refs call it fairly, this should be a record year for the amount of holding calls a DL generates in a season.
I would hate to see AD come back and have the refs screw him again. If it's a hold...call the d@mn penalty!!! If they do call them correctly, we could be looking at a historic season for the defense that rivals the best of all time.
Having said that, I still see the refs not throwing the flag as much as they should and that's a shame. The league deserves to have a player as good as AD is recognized for what he is and how great he actually was. The NFL needs to have players that are just better than everyone else and when they do, they should encourage it. Be proud of it. It would be good for business and the fans alike.
I would settle for having refs just call the blatant holds.
