[QUOTE="33jacket, post: 213603, member: 628"] IMO no, that was a head up blitzer; and you are allowed to cut them....I think the rule is more or less coming from outside into the side or blind angle of a tackler....vs a cut in the tackle box period. Here the guy kinda blocked him on one side; so you can argue its back into the ball I guess. If thats the case then there will be a TON of flags on RB's trying to cut DE's rushing on passing downs...and blitzing LBs. See this is where the logic of actually playing the game, supercedes the analytics of a rule. You can't possibly execute a cut block in pass pro without blocking back to the line on some blocks. Guys are avoiding blocks which means body positions change etc. I can't imagine cut blocks only being directed towards the sidelines...Its also why they are slowly ruining the game. The fact remains, cuts are rarely responsible for injuries, any more than any other thing in football. Its dumb IMO the spirit of the rule is to eliminate the more surprise cut block back into the body "towards" the ball that the tackler isn't prepared for.... [/QUOTE]
