[QUOTE="YJMD, post: 322774, member: 1929"] It's unfortunate about the cut/chop language although pretty common. Sometimes the threat of a cut block is pretty effective if a guy is focusing on looking out for it. They may hesitate and even avoid the block to make a tackle, but it'll be 4 yards from the LOS and aren't appreciating how powerful that is for us, especially when across the 50 when any reasonable 4th down will be attempted. The cuts and crackbacks from the skill positions (AB and WR) are also big in the passing game since people will either leave a cushion or find themselves 5 yards from a guy that ran pass them when they were expecting to be blocked. IMO a DL that can make aggressive moves to evade the initial block and get across the LOS causes more havoc than one playing straight-up with good technique. An important piece is a LB or safety who can play side to side and eat up the AB or QB when the ball goes outside. We try to block these guys with a crackback or a pulling guard, but a standout player is hard to block when you're trying to get to them from 5 yards away. [/QUOTE]
