[QUOTE="JacketFan137, post: 887502, member: 5973"] while you have called my argument a straw man you have created an unrealistic scenario yourself. yes, in a perfect world everyone uses their hands and no one takes the shot to the knees but as one article posted said players are getting sloppy with that because they don’t practice defending the cut as it’s just opening up players to get injured. these are college kids who are prone to mistakes i don’t expect everyone to just flawlessly defend it every time. also regardless of where the cut block is, it’s just more likely to see you hit below the knees than you would in a regular block. by your logic we don’t need to make horse collars, clipping, and other penalties illegal because not every horse collar and clip is gonna be the dangerous kind. while there is no study that states they result in injuries (and no study conducted that says it’s safe either) common sense and medical knowledge would tell you it’s not very safe to get hit in the knees with someone’s full weight on you. while this isn’t every time it’s gonna happen a whole lot more when cutting is legal than other wise. i pretend to be a know it all on here all the time and i’m largely unqualified but this is the one thing i can confidently speak on with qualifications. we’re just gonna have to agree to disagree [/QUOTE]
