Nothing wrong with that. Somebody's gotta be there to support the football players

Apparently, you don't kn... nevermind.

If you don't think football has artistic beauty, then you never saw Barry Sanders run the football or the Dallas Cowboys lined up with their home jerseys on...

And now his daddy!

And his mama...

I coached your 10 year old...

There's lots of us...more than you know.

👍

Not a true chop block, buddy. You might be thinking of a cut block.

🤣 At least you have a sense of humor.

+1000

Then you definitely never played O or D Line...

I think he pronounces it YoSelf...

I can guarantee he is not a Lumberton coach or any other kind of coach, for that matter. Poor little guy doesn't know the first thing... On second thought, he might be a Splendora coach...

That dude was cocked! I think he retired, lol.

Just for clarity. If they are not split out wide, then they are considered a Split End. Off the line in close is a Slot Receiver. It's a fair mistake.

I can't wait to hear the Leftist spin as to why they lost so many seats in Congress next year... It will probably be that the majority of Americans are right wing domestic terrorists.

Are you meaning the "Friendly Bulldogs"? LOL

It all depends on your definition of a crack back. If a receiver goes in motion, for instance, clears the tackle, the ball is handed off to a RB and the receiver blocks the LB above the waste then it's definitely legal. But you are correct, a wideout can't commit the good old blindside block anymore...

Not if it's done right! They used to teach a leg whip into the groin after the cut, but that's a "no-no" nowadays.

So have pulling guards on like a sweep or quick pitch.

You are very descriptive - I don't think anyone one mentioned "smashing a knee cap or femur bone". Just for clarity, a cut block doesn't mean using a knife. Figured I would head that one off at the pass... 😆

I only said "mostly legal" because if there is not enough separation between blocks, it can be perceived (especially by a low paid high school ref) as a chop block - even though it is not. A cut block within in the tackles is definitely legal. It's just a high block by player A - a moment of separation, then a cut block by player B. It's an excellent combo especially on a backside pass block.

Splendora?

Yep. It comes with the territory. A true chop block is usually a high-low block from 2 offensive players on a defender at the same time. The way around that call is to initiate the high block then disengage and separate. Within a blink of an eye, the low guy makes his block and takes out the defender. If the guard / tackle practice it, it is pure art and "mostly legal".
