in the wake of the holding call? It seemed like Jake had more time because a defense can't pin its ears back and blitz when they know the secondary is going to be more vulnerable to the bigger play because a key component of their defensive strategy depends upon playing tight man coverage and grabbing jerseys along the way. I was frankly surprised by open candid Kalani was about it because he seems usually pretty diplomatic about it, but he would know how they are coached.

I frankly think it was probably smart to try to hold because of what others have mentioned: 1) if it's not called, then it's not a penalty, and 2) it prevents a big play from happening. The risk outweighed the reward because we only earned 10 yars and still have 81 yards to cover in just over a minute and some change.
