Crimson Tide cut blocking video

Not sure I find the best place to put this, but a short good watch uncut blocking

Interesting, in that clip that play is a very bad cut block targeting the knee.

Agree but like the man said "rarely called in the tackle box". On initial surge even clipping is rarely called in the box.

... because you know it is legal in the tackle box.

Does anyone know what really happened with the 2019-2020 home and home with Bama and why it got cancelled? It looks like they are playing Duke in 2019 instead.

I think it is all hearsay at this point. At the time, it was being said that Bama requested we play at Bama and then at the Dome, and we refused.

Nick Saban played a Jeff Monken coached GA Southern. Realized he wanted no part of this offense run by CPJ and better athletes. Ran to his AD and cried into his milk and Little Debbie oatmeal cookies (look into it) until his AD canceled the game.

True story.

(OK, not really true, but that's the story I choose to believe....)

Saban discovered that he did not have to play Tech. in order to play in Atlanta.

I feel bad for that DE, but that's either bad coaching or bad technique, or a bit of both. When you have a blocker coming at you, you can't turn sideways. That's a dangerous move. You have to stay face on and use your hands to evade the block. Football is a violent sport and people get hurt every game on legal plays.

This is correct. I cannot find a "north-south" requirement inside the tackle box. This seems like the most likely place to make a rules change. I don't think it would affect us much. Guys really shouldn't be targeting the side of a guy's knee anywhere on the field, period.

He's slow playing the the mesh so he's not focused down the LOS. How do you coach your DE's, then? "Don't look at the mesh, look out for pulling guards taking your knees out from the side."

I disagree. He wasn't getting hit from the side until he turned to the side. Here is the before and after.

Notice in the first picture on the left, you can see a little of the numbers on the back of his jersey. Then look at the second picture where you can see the numbers on the front of his jersey.

I have a massive respect for your opinion, but I think you’re reaching a bit on this one. Look at the defender’s feet. If you draw a line between them, that line is parallel to the line of scrimmage.

Here’s another thing, that block would be just as effective targeting the hip rather than the knee and much less risky.

 

[dressedcheeseside]

Just my humble opinion, but I think there’s nothing wrong with requiring the ten and two rule over the whole field.

I Like that approach for looking at the direction of the block. Looking from the hips down, the DE got past the lineman, then got cut from the side.

I do admit I'm walking a tight rope here, because its clearly not a front facing block. I just think it was a bit over to the side and then the kid exacerbated it by rotating away from it at the same time. I like your 10 and 2 analogy.

I agree it's a questionable block made worse by the DE's movement. Hard to tell if he just never saw him or tried to turn away at the last second.
