If it's an obvious hold and no flag, fake an injury on that play so they can replay it on the big screen. Rinse repeat for the no calls
Do not bank on the refs making calls. Expect zero calls. Control what you can control. Do not let them hold you; Do not let them hold you; Do not let them hold you. It's simple.

I don't think they should go into the game relying on refs to make calls. They need to go in there expecting not to get any calls.

Every single DL coach will tell you the same thing when you get held: Do not let them hold you.

That's a lot easier said than done. When 2 teams are great the refs can be the determining factor. You can't always say….well we should of made such and such plays when the other team makes plays too

You control every single thing that is possible to control. What calls the refs make is not something they can control.

What Nick Bosa said wasn't crying, its more of a jab then being a f**kin crybaby.

Bosa is right. We all see what happened 4 years ago.
Besides Bosa is candid. He's not gonna play the diplomat game. He's gonna tell you what he really thinks for the most part.

Sounds like he's talking about Micah Parsons

Lol

Crosby: I'm not one of those guys that talks about getting held and all that, that's weak...

However!!!!! Go look at last week's rams game we played! They held the s**t out of me and no calls!
Bosa is just as scary as he was in SB LIV. It took Mahomes an entire half to adjust to how quick Bosa was turning the corner off the edge. First he over-corrected and started rushing. Then he dialed it in, where he just got off the throws before being clobbered!

To win superbowls you have to beat the opposing team *and* the refs. That's the Bill Walsh standard of winning.

Yup, got to be so good that even if they hold you, you still get the sack.

How many times has Maxx Crosby been held in a Superbowl? Answer None.

When he makes a Superbowl and its a clutch play in the 4th quarter and he is held and when asked if he was held, he says No. Then I will listen to him.

What did Patrick Mahomes say to Maxx Crosby?

"Come on, dawg, I know what you're doing, but just chill out a little bit, you know what I'm saying?" Mahomes told Crosby. "Don't just punch me for no reason, dawg. I understand you touching me, but don't punch me, bro."
Need him to have a 2019 type of impact.

Id never bank on it and normally I don't like teams doing that (think about how much Pete Carroll would talk about refs), but the Chiefs go next level with it. It likely won't change a thing, but considering Bosa never complains, I'm okay with it.

Id also be curious if Maxx Crosby holds the same opinion if he played in some more meaningful games.
Looking at the NRG 49Hour video against the Packers he was trying to motivate the Dline more than his usual self along with Fred. This is a great step in becoming a better leader.
