More like 1/10.
I think you get my point... 'rak terrorizes OT's... and he draws an inordinate number of holding penalties... and that's just the ones that get called. Unfortunately, those don't count as sacks...

Didn't get called once today, despite it happening repeatedly, directly in front of the ref.
I was at the game in the end zone at club level and watched Rak on several plays - you are right, he was held repeatedly right in front of the ref. On one play, Rak was on his knees with his hands held out looking at the ref. That was the most blatant of the holds not called.

I remember the exact play. It was so obvious on TV, even the G-strings fans sitting near me were embarrassed that there was no call. On the replay, I noticed the ref was just wtching Eli, and paying no attention to his duties as an Umpire.
