K, so y'all are saying no flag because it was ruled uncarchable.
What's the rule in general. When can an RB be legally tackled in that situation? Some have said "before the ball is thrown". That right?
Is the RB's location, relative to the LOS even relevant? Can't believe I don't know this rule, but apparently he CAN be tackled (when targeted as a receiver) depending on something, unless, as someone stated, refs just don't call it/ball essentially has to hit him in the arse on the way to the ground.

if its behind the LOS and the RB is tackled,, it is defensive holding. If the defender engages the RB as if he was being blocked, then its not usually a penalty. Think about defensive holding along the LOS. When a defensive lineman drags down an OL, then that is holding. If they are engaged in blocking, then everything is fine. Same thing goes.

No, he can't. Don't listen to those people. You can't blatantly tackle any eligible receiver
