That holding was on the line.. where were the LB's, Corners, and Safety? Surely when the ball is handed off they stop covering receivers?

Often times one player is the man to stop a big gain if that play is his gap responsibility.

I've seen a bazillion huge gains brought back because of a holding call.

Do you think they should just ignore all holding calls?

Nope.... And I do not care to guess how many Saints runs would be called back for holding if they called all of them.
