[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 887440, member: 1191"] This is a great article about cut blocks in the NFL and player safety. It makes a couple of salient points: 1. There is little hard data suggesting cut blocks are more dangerous than other contact, [B][I]BUT:[/I][/B] 2. NFL teams are convinced they are dangerous so they don't allow them during practice sessions to keep their players "intact." This means that players face a situation in games they rarely practice, which starts the downward spiral of self fulfilling prophecy in regards to player injuries and cut blocks. In the college world of today, player safety is quickly becoming [B][I]THE [/I][/B]hot button issue, so we will most likely see a continued shift towards rules that benefit the safety of a player, even if that benefit is based in perception, and not really tangible.
