[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 404996, member: 77"] The 2014 crew cut plenty, they were pretty good at it, too. Also, there’s a very good reason we cut on the perimeter. The target is in space, moving and very agile. Cuts force the defender to take his eyes off his target in order to beat the block. Most times, we don’t even need a take down, an “in-the-way” works well enough. There are plenty of advantages to this type of blocking when executed correctly. Problem is, they are very difficult to execute. Our best cutters over the years still missed blocks and more than you’d think. I wish we could see the success rate for each player kept similarly to batting average in baseball. Then it’d be much easier to compare. But make no mistake, many a big play is thanks to a well timed/executed cut block. And many a busted play is the result of a poor one. And another thing, defenders are much better at taking on and defeating them. The whole familiarity/experience thing... We must get better, too! [/QUOTE]
