Re: chop block
As an offensive linemen I am quite confused about these chop blocks that are being called also. Not on the definition, but most of the chop blocks are being called on running plays. How is that even possible on a dive play right up the middle?? I've seen it many times on pass plays but until this season I've never seen it called on running plays, well until this year that is.

Re: chop block
Im kind of confused also---but it seems that there is no---when you are double teaming a guy for one to be high and the other low.
But if you are one on one does it also mean that you cant use a cut block??? Is it ok in the box??? Out of the box??? Down field??? PL

Re: chop block
As far as I know cut blocks are still legal. My brother was at the Wyoming game and saw lots of cut blocks from the line. On the chop block yesterday the flag was thrown at hole, so I am completely confused then. I can see if it's away from the play, where the backside tackle is calling for a cut and that defensive player engages the guard at the same time he is cut. That one I can understand, but from what I saw yesterday the chop was called at the hole.

Re: chop block
you can cut somebody, 1. if they aren't engaged with another player 2. if they are inside the "free blocking zone" ie inside the tackles

Re: chop block
yeah, if one guy is engaging a player up high then one cannot cut him down low, one on one it is perfectly legal as long as the ballcarrier is not past you. That's a chop block... a cut block which is one on one is legal as long as the ball carrier is not past you, if he is it is illegal. But if a "cut" block is performed from behind then it's considered a "chop" block and is illegal.
I know it's confusing, but they should clarify this more. Basically, "chop" blocks are dirty and mean to injure a player. "Cut" blocks are clean and from in front of a player.

Re: chop block
RunDMc you are absolutely right. If someone can figure out how these chop blocks are happening at the point of attack I would be very interested to know.

It should never happen. Our guys should know better.
