"Micah Parsons hates the tush push, thinks offensive players get away with holding far too often and had to change his facemask during the last game because he got poked in the eye and popped a blood vessel on a play that wasn't penalized. And the Green Bay Packers defensive end said it all knowing that it could back to haunt him -- both when his team plays the Philadelphia Eagles next month and when the NFL hears his comments."
"While Parsons said Thursday that he doesn't think the NFL will do anything about it, Packers coach Matt LaFleur said he planned to at least talk to the officials before Sunday's game at the Arizona Cardinals about what he perceives as missed holding calls. "That's definitely a conversation pregame," LaFleur said. LaFleur said earlier in the week that he believes Parsons is "frustrated by it and there are some that are egregious, and I think those need to be called.""
Micah Parsons rejects the tush push and says offensive players frequently get away with holding. He changed his facemask after being poked in the eye and popping a blood vessel on a play that was not penalized. Parsons does not expect the NFL to take action and says officials will call what they call, stressing only that players hope for a fair game. Packers coach Matt LaFleur plans to address perceived missed holding calls with officials before the Cardinals game and described some missed holds as egregious. Team data show the Packers have had only six holding penalties called on opponents this season.
