The plays that look like chokeholds are usually not actually holding. You get to that position usually when the pass rusher does a rip move, which basically pushes the O-lineman’s arm up into a position where they have to either disengage or wrap their arm around the pass rusher. There’s an exception in the rulebook for those plays.
You could point to all the great pass rushers, I see it all the time against JJ and Q on the Jets because I watch them more, but you also see it constantly against Crosby, Hutch, Watt, Garrett, Bosa…
Feels like the inconsistency just removes the advantage of having great pass rushers. That is a literal game changer for the Jets because you know damn well the Offense isn’t gonna do anything, so to see your DL getting mugged just makes it, like you said, irritating.
It is still irritating though. It really does seem like Micah gets held on every single play. Like… multiple literal chokeholds a game…
Good lol
This is every good pass rusher on every team. And every person who bitches about it roots for a team who’s OL holds non stop

As a fan of a player that loves them: still. There are holds on those players, and the league doesn’t call them.
Aren’t those only holds if the OLine takes the Dlinemen to the ground?
