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.

      Is J-Stew a team propagandist?

      By TD alt · Posted

      OK, let me first say that I can't get any Twitter link to embed--using "X" or "Twitter" or whatever, and I'm tired of trying. Now, I must say that I see Panthers stuff in Facebook on occasion as I'm part of some group, but I see Panthers stuff even less on the cesspool that is now X, but as a follower of the official Panthers Twitter, stuff pops up on that feed too. I guess that I shouldn't be surprised that agents of the organization would be putting out tweets like this: He's not even trying to be objective. It stands to make sense though. In order to get better information, you have to go to national sources like Kurt Warner.  I'm not necessarily trying to pick on J-Stew, per se, but I can't take him seriously, as even some past Panthers players, like Greg Olsen for example, don't seem like they're just trying to cater to Panthers Nation, just saying hollow words to make everyone feel good.  I just wonder why here on the Carolina Huddle, there seems to be more objectivity, or at least more critical thinking and serious discussion than most other social media sources on the Panthers. It's interesting. There is a significant difference.  For all the changes and the seeming decline in popularity to whatever degree, the Carolina Huddle still has its place and plays a big part in overall Panthers fandom. We want to be happy, joyous and cheer for the Panthers, but we aren't necessarily trying to shoot sunshine up people's derrières either.

      Should Canalas bring someone else in to call offensive plays?
