It's being reported that the league's Competition Committee is considering a ban on it.

FYI: The Falcons offene this year would likely be one that uses cut blocks and chop blocks, so this could directly affect them (and others who run similar schemes, obviously).

Would be interesting to see how it effects the running game in the NFL.

Misread thread and was expecting pork chops. I am disappoint.

 

On another note thats why we have haaahg maaahlies. No need to chop. Just pancake motherfugers.

Those are 1 inch market cuts, aren't they?  That's some good stuff right there.  You need to have a few bell peppers roasting too.

West Coast Offense teams tend to run zone blocking schemes which incorporate more cut blocks and chop blocks.

Mind you, I haven't sat down and analyzed the Seahawks, but I get the sense they would be one of the teams affected. So would the Broncos and probably the Ravens.

NFL coaches have said for years that if you eliminate the ability yo cut the backside D linemen that it would be virtually impossible to run the football. I say they'll figure it out. Cuts should be banned, period.

From what I've read, plain old cut blocking wouldn't be affected by this proposal.

It's only chop blocking (i.e. the old "high-low" trick) that they're talking about right now.

Florio pointed out that it's actually already illegal at every level of football up to the pros

Cut blocking and chop blocking are two different styles.  Chop blocks will do more damage because two people hit high and low on the runner.  Chop is the dangerous one.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
