I've gotten a few emails from folks looking for this video.
It's Kansas City Chiefs rookie Javier Arenas taking the Atlanta Falcons kick from the goal line to goal line.
Unfortunately, it was called back for a hold.
The hold was on No. 57, which is Justin Cole. It happens at about the 26 second mark near the top of the screen.
(Thanks to KcChiefsfan506 for finding the video)

It was a great return.
Even better is the fact that it was not the only good return he had in the game. As for the holding, completely uncalled for, it looked like it was personal to Cole. A perfect example of how each player must not put themselves in front of the team. Cole and all players have to realize that it is about the return and not necessarily about getting the best of a player on a single block. The runner was by you, LET IT GO dude.

Even on the routine returns/fair catches
I really thought he looked more seasoned than someone playing their first game. Relaxed, decisive, making one strong move and little gimmick
me too
All our rookies looked seasoned…

no kidding....you typically hear that you should not expect much from rookies...but my goodness they didnt look like rooks
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
well they were obviously the most talented players on the field...
By a LONG shot. Athletically speaking of course. But probably in other ways as well.
arenas knockin out the punter is priceless :)

That's the kicker, actually
But, a mean-ass stiff-arm nonetheless.
The Chiefs will see a return to respectability in 2010, emerging as the front runner in the AFC West! ....And I'll quantify that however I choose. Ahem.

Or is their punter also their kickoff man...

someone got bullied
he does look like a player in week 7 and not a player in first preseason game … week 2 should be alittle better
Flowers, Carr, Lewis, & Berry = SCARY SECONDARY
NEW ARROWHEAD = BETTER TEAM ... CHIEFS 2011 AFC WEST CHAMPS

To me, it looks like the WR that Cole was blocking
Tried to twist out of Coles block which brought them both down.
The 5th Dimension
#29 Eric Berry
yeah, it was a borderline hold just because they went down with him looking like he was in control.
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
That is something the Chiefs have been missing
I think that a lot of people overlook the importance of having a good return man. I know for sure that I was one of them not too long ago. But in our first game he averaged 28 yards per return. Would have been much more if the TD counted. That is huge as far as helping out our offense.

completely agree..this team will win with field position...arenas/colquitt will hand us great field position on the regular
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
I agree
I think that a lot of people didn’t like this pick, but it looks so far to be a good one.

It's the difference between starting at the 15-20
or the 30-35.
That’s an entire first down or two…
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.

I hope he can tear it up all season long!
it will be nice to score a few more points this year from the Special Teams.
The picture is a Chiefs pumpkin, yeah that is right a Chiefs pumpkin.

I love this return for many reasons
But mainly because it highlights many of the qualities that make Javy a consistently great returner. Like most return men, he has tremendous short-area quickness, but what sets him apart to me is his ability to be decisive as he reads his blocks and also the tremendous power and strength he exhibits. He’s not strong for a defensive back, he’s just strong period.
Javy isn’t the tallest guy out there, but he’s definitely packed pretty tight, as the saying goes.
I’m looking forward to seeing the impact he’s going to make on special teams and also on defense, where he will only get better and better with each practice and game.

Good point
He’s got less speed than Lawrence, but his vision and patience were clearly noticeable. Also, he seems tough to bring down.

Great to have a consistant return man
Props to the blocking on the returns all night also. Hoffman has the special teams units looking good.
The Chiefs will finish .500 or better in 2010.
This guy had a 42 yard return and a return for a TD
On his first game as a Pro. HIS FIRST GAME AS A PRO!!!

It's just great
to have options in the kick return game. I mean c’mon, last year it took us til mid-season to releaize Jamaal was our only kick returning option. If we can polish up our special teams game with guys like Javier and maybe if Quinten Lawrence can hang on to the ball, we will be among the best returning teams in the league.
Just feels good to know your team is getting better…going in the right direction, rather than the wrong.
oh boy...
Arenas’ return looked so effortless and the kid is pretty fast too. Boy I can tell out kick return game will be pretty good…..you know besides the whole holding thing
His power is what impresses me the most.
A returner as big and strong as him but with burning speed too? Hell of an athlete.
Dude. You can't be serious.
It was definitely a hold. A little late but still a hold.
