Yeah, I wondered about that a bit. Baldwin looks a little stunned that the ball didn't come his way, as he just stands there after Moeaki makes the catch. He then moves up to hinder the defender chasing Moeaki, but doesn't lay a finger on him. Part of me wonders if Baldwin was just pissed off at the entire scenario, and part of me wonders if Baldwin was trying to play it ultra-safe and avoid getting penalized for a ticky-tacky hold on the play. After all, our team does tend to get flagged more than any other team in the league, and there must be times when the players feel as if any big play they have is going to get wiped out. Maybe it was a little bit of both, but I'm not going to speculate. I'm sure that the coaches have brought that up in their meetings.
