[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 887458, member: 198"] Not the same mechanism of injury, sorry. It's just not. Chop blocking is generally from the side, not straight on. Chop blocking is done when the player is already engaged high, defenseless, with an inability to disengage to protect themselves. Chop blocks are generally not expected (because they're illegal) so the player never sees it coming. All are reasons why there is no comparison between cut blocking and chop blocking. Any time you make contact with a vulnerable joint there is risk for injury. Football is an inherently dangerous sport. I would posit that cut blocking is no more dangerous than any other type of blocking. Pancake blocks have the player thrown to the ground and then the blocker fall on him. [/QUOTE]
