| 0:00.0 | All right. Some more questions from the mailbag as we continue on this Thursday edition of PFT Live. |
| 0:08.3 | At-Hawks fan 2016 has not a question, but a series of statements. Cooper Cup got beat by Wilson. |
| 0:16.3 | Plain and simple. There was no holding. It was incidental contact at best. We talked about this one yesterday. |
| 0:23.4 | We saw the holding. We saw the hand in the chest that impeded Cooper Cup when he was trying to |
| 0:28.0 | cross underneath. Chris, you have the floor. Yeah. Okay. Well, so, you know, again, it was clearly |
| 0:35.5 | defensive holding. You know, I'm going to get into this. First off, I always find it our job to tell the truth. And like you say, we're going to tell the truth whether you like it or not. I want to bust narratives that are out there that are stupid. I understand Bengals fans are upset. I get that. But let me just tell you as an innocent bystander, the Bengals won as far as where the |
| 0:55.1 | referees went. They got away with more than the Rams for sure. I know we have Jalen Ramsey |
| 1:00.8 | tugging T. Higgins shirt, but we also have T. Higgins on the offensive pass interference. |
| 1:05.9 | We have also a number of plays through the game where I go, this is, you know, Van Jefferson |
| 1:10.0 | early fourth quarter. He's got a ball put right in the basket. He can only get one hand up because the other guy's holding his hand, you know. And then at the end of the game, Mike, it was egregious. Egregious. The Bengals at the end of the game, when it became first and eight, said, we're going to hold every play and we don't think the refs will call it that's the approach they took and that's where i go way to go refs in the NFL so |
| 1:31.9 | here's first and eight right first and eight we got some still shots for you here's cooper cup |
| 1:36.9 | being held on first and eight right this ends up being uh incomplete on this pass but either way there |
| 1:43.2 | you go it's blatant holding he can't get out of the break. The guy holds him and is all over him. So there's your first and eight play. Now let's go to second and eight. Second and eight, here's an incompletion to Dorell Henderson. Here's holding. He's being horse collars as he comes out of the break, let alone Stafford throws him the ball, and the guy is continuing |
| 2:01.8 | to hold him as he's trying to catch it. There's no pass interference or defensive holding. |
| 2:05.6 | Here's another snapshot. This is the same exact play, and this is Cooper Cup being held by |
| 2:10.7 | Von Bell. And let me just tell you, if we could zoom on this and I could show you coaches him, |
| 2:15.1 | he was held already by Eli Apple before he came out of the |
| 2:18.8 | break. And then Von Bell held him as he's coming out of the break. Again, great. So these are |
| 2:24.0 | plays where nothing is called. And this should have been first down right here. So now we go |
| 2:28.4 | move on to the play. All right. Now, like we explained yesterday, if Luke Wilson can be in the position he was, |
| 2:35.9 | like where he was totally turned around and then he flipped his hips and covered Cooper Cup, |
| 2:40.4 | then, man, they need to start paying him $16 million a year because he's this right here. |
