So does elimination of the chop block significantly effect the Matsko scheme?

[tiger7_88]

Question is for the coaches/technicians in this here forum (and I'm not either).

I've seen commentary in other NFL teams forums/newspapers as to the effect of the elimination of this block.  Personally, I'm glad they're doing away with it.

But how often has this kind of block been SCHEMATICALLY part of our run game?  If the answer to this question is "zero" or "very little", then I'm a happy camper.

It hurts West Coast Offenses like Denver way more than it hurts us.

Do you know which of our 2016 opponents this affects besides Denver? Just like the news of Justin Houston's ACL problem today might make him unavailable for our game against Kansas City if we play them early in the schedule, I'm always eyeing the news pertaining to our opponents this season.

Most of the controversy comes from people that have no idea what the difference between a chop block and a cut block is.

It would be pretty shitty for any team to coach their line to dive at the knees of a defender already engaged with a blocker.

I know KC is WCO (Reid).Pretty sure the Raiders are too. San Diego was always Coryell but I think they changed to E-P last year.

Honestly, most if not all teams have made use of it to a certain extent, but the WCO schemes tend to be more suited.

Remember Gruden's Bucs taking out Kavika Pittman?

That was back in 03.

If I remember correctly, Alex Gibbs was the Bucs line coach at the time. I think he coached for the Falcons at some point too.

Love Joe Gibbs but Alex was a POS. That guy's coaching cost more than one player their career.

Chop block has always been part of Denver's repertoire, always one of the dirtiest teams in the League.
