Good video, I knew there was a reason Campen was kept around. 😎 Innovative coaching

Thanks for sharing. As my son plays OL I will be sharing this video with him.

It's only holding if the ref calls it!
Been that way since holding was invented!
😂😂😂😂
Was interesting to watch.
Gives you something else to peek at during the game.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Perhaps this helps explain how the injury ridden OL is still somewhat effective even with the backups in the game.

I think you can execute the technique without holding. You're pushing against the shoulder pads (in the video, they singled out one portion where Bulaga pushing up on the shoulder pads of the DL) to control the DL. You can push up / against the pads with the heels of your hands without grabbing and holding, and by adjusting the pressure of your arms / hands can control / keep the DL in front of you.

I'm not sure if the technique originated with the Packers, or if Campen adopted it. When watching the Steelers / Chiefs game, I noticed some of the Steelers OL using the 'Hug' technique.

There wouldn't be much of a story if it only focused on pushing back on the DLman.

I think the key to the video was the statement towards the middle where he says something about what happens when he faces a RT with better Technique like Bulaga well you would expect the defender to not have the success when facing a better opponent. Bulaga is considered one of the best RT in the game for a reason.

It has always been the case in football, The key to when holding gets called is if the lineman has good form and is in good position. If they do, they will almost never get called. It is when they are our of position and lose the form that officials pay attention. Officials cannot watch everything so they key on form and when they see bad form they watch closer.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious

dfosterf (26-Aug) : *Orzech*

dfosterf (26-Aug) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Packers signed someone for three year deal

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : lol i know it's insane ... sign up for the waiver wire then you'll know

wpr (26-Aug) : YES!!!!!!

Mucky Tundra (26-Aug) : WE WANT THE LIST! WE WANT THE LIST!
