But in the review process, they do not "throw" a flag that wasn't thrown by the official on the field.

Depends on the penalty, this year the replay booth can initiate some penalties, but you are correct SBH, this play is not one of them.

That was a definite illegal block and will draw the flag 100% of the time...
Except this time.
True, I should not have put 100% in their, but this is a foul that should be called in the open field at the point of attack.

What does "in the open field at the point of attack" have to do with the price of .... Is that out of the rule book?

You will not see a hold called that is not near the ball or the point of attack, and when a foul is clearly out in the open like that, the likelihood of it being called increases greatly because film never lies. If a hold has an effect on the play it will be called, if it's not in the play, likely not to see it called unless the act just screams like a sore thumb.

Hold and illegal blocks carry the same enforcement and are officiated under the same philosophies. Nice try on splitting hairs.

Early I admitted this needs opinion of an official. I am not splitting hairs. If you can quote the book on this situation, that would be helpful. If you wish to be the authority, simply explain your authority, please.

I did quote the book on officiating philosophy. What exactly are you looking for and I'd be more than happy to give you rule/article/section.

Second place in this argument, B-2. BTC has the book and the experience in the trenches.

This year, can the replay booth initiate a correction on the spot, so that you can't have safeties called at the 4 yard line?

Oh, c'mon. The first and real question here is whether our guy made an intentional, not accidental block in the back.

Don't lose site of this issue. Don't let Bcat2 obfuscate.

The block is clearly in the back and clearly done on purpose as our guy reached out to do it.

Inability to master the obvious--let's leave that to the SFB, please.

Those of us who can see obvious truths shouldn't allow ourselves to be misdirected by those SFB who cannot.
