text: is there an "in the grasp" rule for sacking quarterbacks in the nfl anymore? yesterday, during the titans-giants game, mathias kiwanuka had vince young wrapped up, with two arms around him, and was driving young backwards.  in order to avoid a "roughing the passer" call, and in thinking young threw the ball, kiwinuka let young go. and he went!   20 yards to set up the tying td and ultimately went on to win the game.  i think the roughing the passer thing is a little out of control, but wasnt young "in the grasp"??  how could the ref let that one go if the rule still exists?? well next time hopefully kiwi bashes the qb to the ground..and and injury occurs..cause the nfl is protecting the qbs too much..if you want to protect them, fine, but the ref shouldve blown the whistle to call the play dead since kiwi had him held tight for at least 3 seconds
