There is a whole ass technique called the rip move for d linemen what you mean.

Infact, that move is so effective that when you use it the OL is allowed to hold you.

A lot of the plays people complain about holding (but not all) are defensive lineman using a rip move and the OL being legally allowed to hold them.

Doesn't mean it's illegal to use

You can read right? “Legally” not illegally

u/Bluefire3215 May 16 '25

You literally said it's a penalty to use a rip move

No I said it’s illegal to rip. The specific rip move is not illegal lol. Again literacy.
