The NFL has enforced holding penalties in a stricter fashion this season which has ultimately hurt the Jaguars. Center Brandon Linder for example, leads the league in holding penalties with eight. Linder was not called for a single holding penalty last season (nine games). Jaguars rookie right tackle Jawaan Taylor is tied for second in the NFL with seven.

Just wish this was the same for all teams. ?

Yeah it almost seems like holding to some extent is a natural flow of the position and that calling holding penalties is currently overly discretionary.

It was easier to call fairly when the linemen couldn't use their hands...

Since the NFL is all about offense and protecting the QB, why not just make holding on offensive linemen legal ?
