Chop blocks are legal on the line if the lineman are lined up next to each other. Otherwise, they are illegal. Whiners gonna whine.
This has been a constant theme with all of Shanahan's & his underling's ZBS teams, shouldn't be surprising. It's mostly legal but a bit chicken**** at times, if there was a serious issue the league would be reviewing game tape and issuing fines. How many players have they injured?
Winning dirty is better than losing dirty.. which is apparently what the Texans were doing before this year. These whiners sounds like a bunch of crybabies who don't know how to handle losing. Thats all.
I used to horse play with my little brother like this all the time. Bunch of wussies. <iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://eplayer.clipsyndicate.com/cs_api/iframe?pl_id=20898&wpid=9614&page_count=5&tags=CCTVI_VIDEO_LOCAL&windows=1&show_title=0&va_id=2981343&auto_next=1&auto_start=0" width="425" height="330"></iframe>
they should just start playing flag football.. this way the injuries can be kept down.. might as well have the winner of the superbowl play the winner of the lingerie bowl while their at it. Earl Cambell's probably rolling over in his grave. lol
I think typically, only the back side cuts, so by this reasoning, it is probably Brown. He would be my guess. Still, it's legal, no matter who is doing it. Oh, and magnetik, Campbell is still alive.
You can't make cut blocks illegal without increasing the risk to the quarterback, and the NFL would never do that. Cut blocks are almost completely necessary for running backs and Tight Ends in blitz pick-up. Cut blocks help smaller guys block bigger guys effectively. It's no more dangerous than hitting someone's knees on a tackle. You theoretically could make it illegal for linemen to do it, but whining defensive linemen throwing fits asking for flags would be worse than whining quarterbacks asking for flags.
It amuses me that the dlinemen who hate cut clocks were also crying a river about the NFL not letting them hit QBs in the knees while they were planted.
Jaguars beat writer basically tattle tales on the Texans being dirty to the NFL office. http://houston.cbslocal.com/?podcas...=true&config_file=config.xml&dcid=CBS.HOUSTON
Sports Radio 610 talked about that all afternoon, and even had that tool on their station. It was pretty funny. They wrote a letter back to him in response to his letter to Kubiak complaining about the dirty play. Original letter SR610 response http://houston.cbslocal.com/2011/11...gn=we-respond-to-media-member’s-stupid-letter Pretty entertaining afternoon listening to them, and that Cleveland Browns dude who called in had me laughing.
lulz. If Knighton had done that to Schaub this thread would be labeled "DIRTY CHEATING ASSHOLES" and everyone would be up in arms about how unfair it was.
That was Gabbert's fault he didn't start his slide earlier. Schaub would have started his slide 20 yards away from the nearest defender
