[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 887493, member: 198"] You’re creating a straw man argument. Almost no one gets hit in the knees in open field cut blocks. Defensive players use their hands to keep the defender from their legs and if blocker does get through, the defender is off the ground so there is no resistance to the contact (hence no injuries). I played DB. We were taught how to protect yourself. That’s why you see up-down drills. If open field cut blocking was as inherently dangerous as you say, the data would show it. It doesn’t. Chop blocks are also more dangerous because the cleated are engaged when contact is made. Just does not happen often in the open field. This is my last comment on this. [/QUOTE]
