It would be called an illegal crackback block 10 times out of 10. That doesn’t change the fact that Smitty was a bad ass.

Depends on if Steve smith was in motion before the snap or not. Steve’s area of contact is 100% legal since it is below the shoulders.  If smith was In motion pre-snap and coming back toward the QB ... then yea it was illegal. However, if smith was out wide at snap and the play just came his direction organically, it’s a legal block.

I don't know about that. He didn't hit him from behind, and the contact was literally within Greenway's breastplate. 

“a player initiates a block in which he is moving toward or parallel to his own end line and makes forcible contact to his opponent with his helmet, forearm, or shoulder.”

It was definitely towards his own end line to meet the definition of a blindside block.

I genuinely didn't think this post would lead to a debate 🤔

I guess it's true that Huddlers will argue over just about anything 😆

Illegal (by today's standards...perfectly acceptable at the time) or not, it was bad ass. I might make it my screensaver.

    • Fees nowadays are ridiculous. After purchasing concert tickets for my son’s 18th birthday and paying the rest of our HHI trip with 3 other families, I’m shocked at how much they are. Honestly, it’s grand theft. Some is taxes but in a world where everything is electronic, fees should be cheaper. Electrons don’t cost 10-30% of the event.
    • Nope, that’s not the disconnect. In 2022, our GM knew he was going QB in the 2023 draft. You are talking about risking fans involvement on a team that’s been basically bottom 3 in the NFL from 2018 to now. There is no risk when you are that bad. We were right to want Fitterer to tank in 2022 and get rid of anyone who could bring us big value and extra cap room for future years when we aren’t winning 2-7 wins a year. We knew we wanted a rookie QB so we didn’t trade assets for picks and get a better draft slot so we ended up only getting a 2nd for Burns and threw in DJ Moore plus an early 2nd instead of a 1st, which basically lost us an early 2nd. The “risk” to our franchise’s losing culture ended up being around 4 1sts of total value. Yep, I refuse to listen to the other perspective that lost us around 4 1sts of value. At least our fan involvement is so high that our stadium isn’t chock full of visiting fans since we’ve won so much since 2022. Again, you won’t change my mind that we should have tanked in 2022 and had another 2-4 Browns/Horns on this team.
