Repeatedly you'd see a fist full of jersey. Clearly it is coached, and honestly the practice is obviously worth it given the results.
How often have you seen Dev and CJ get so little separation, all game. Even Eagles. 85 needs to stop playing like a little girl, but he's young. It took CJ a few years to learn he was a monster compared to the little guys covering him. Not sure what was up with Jake today, didn't see much. Related note, we needed to take their aggressiveness and throw high back shoulder to CJ and Eagles when it was 1v1 and man with over the top coverage. Higher balls means more reaching and more obvious holding..... Plus we'd probably catch it anyways.
On CJ's injury, when he broke his route from vertical to over the middle, the DB had a fist full of jersey and held him to recover.
They called one of these later in the game, but I saw I think 3 others with closed fist on jersey impacting the route at the break.
It's a hard thing to catch unless it's obvious. Like holding on the line, you need to get some arm action or something to draw attention to the hold.
As for targeting, yeah Roach led with the crown, not just above facemask but the very top of his helmet. Easy call. Sucks but as said above, see what you hit. Keeps your head up and improves accuracy.
Hell last week, Dicker honestly should have been flagged for it. BJ Foster also on his stinger hit, simply for leading with top of the helmet. However I think the fact it's an ejection right now is causing refs to "consider" when calling it, not just enforcing a rule. They should change it to have a 15 yard penalty no ejection based on defenseless and based on helmet to helmet. Roach should be the 15 yard version of that. Lowered head but not helmet to helmet. Same for Dicker and BJ.
Sam got rocked head to head, calling that late hit was bullshit, the timing was actually pretty great but that was helmet to helmet with on a defenseless player (act of throwing). You can't hit QB's there like that. So that was the wrong call also, by the book right now yeah that's an ejection imo.
CJ play was more incidental because CJ did lower his head right before contact happened. Defender needs to do a better job of lining up contact there and keep head up more. I don't think that was ejection worthy, but if there was a 15 yard personal foul for helmet to helmet hit, yeah there you go.
Of course we are all drunk and these ideas and comments may be retarded and/or not how the rules work.
