If anybody knows about cut blocking it’s a Mike Shanahan offensive lineman.  Those teams could run against a brick wall and gain 7 on 1st down.

Kubiak and Rick Dennison got dudes to do it to perfection back in the day and their legacy lives on

Injuries happen through all different types of contact. That's a reality of this sport.

The cut block isn't illegal and it shouldn't be, otherwise we have to change the rules of the game across the board. Beyond the blocking work for TEs, WRs and RBs that goes on during most plays and the tackling by safeties and DBs, just looking at the trenches should show that removing it would fundamentally change the game.

Offensive linemen are the most restricted players on the field of play and yet are possibly the most important for the success of a team. They play the entire game (barring injury) and are never rotated out. How they can use their hands, their restricted movement pre-snap, their inability to handle the ball (barring some weird incidents), downfield movement/contact rules, chop blocks being illegal, clipping, etc... The cut block allows a smaller player to assist the line by sealing an edge or taking on a rushing defender. It's just a necessity of the game to keep defenses from having an even greater advantage along the line of scrimmage.

I'm really sorry the young player was injured, and in the preseason to boot, but it is a part of the game, not an unusual one and there didn't appear to be any malice in the hit or even anything unusual about it.

      Off Season topic: What Panthers question do you have that you know will never be answered?

      Yeah lol well the interest isn’t really about seeking stimulation.  I wanted to see how actually bad it was.  And how much of it was women setting him up to be their cash cow.  That is the stuff that leveraged the Panthers into David Tepper’s hands. It is important in that sense.     The worst that I have heard is that he got them in the car and clumsily reached across to help them with their seat belt and made contact. With his arm. That was probably his big slick move. And I can almost guarantee he wasn’t rejected every time. It is easy to picture that action bringing his head close enough to the woman’s head to where he could go in for the kiss if he thought he got the green light.    I really don’t care if JR was a horn dog. We heard all our lives up until the last few years that one of the perks of being really old is that you can flirt with the young women and it is not just tolerated but expected. So he was keeping a tradition alive at some point 😂

      Well I rubbed some dirt on it and am still here just not optimistic about the future of the QB position. Even what I had accepted as a ceiling raised to an acceptable level turned out to be a bit of a mirage, upon rewatch of the WC game.  Good plays were there yes, but some pretty bad ones too that the good ones late in the game kind of obscured. I have to downgrade that a little.  Especially after rewatching the last 4 plays. I remember the arguments about he did his job the WRs didn’t but that was really just that last muff by Coker I think it was on our final offensive play.   To the future: I know what my level is for paying him and recommitting, but I don’t have any confidence that the team shares my high bar.    But thanks for the pep talk
