[QUOTE="GT_05, post: 322792, member: 3489"] Thanks. This is good info. My understanding is that a chop block is when one offensive lineman engages a defensive player high on the body while another offensive lineman engages the same defensive player low on the body. This is illegal. However, cut blocks are when an offensive player attempts to engage a defensive player low on the body only. Often, little to no contact is made with the defender as they are able to dodge the block but the block still disrupts their attack angle. The coach probably didn't mean any harm in using "chop" and "cut" synonymously but it gives fans that don't know the difference the ammunition to call our guys dirty. I'm holding him to a higher standard because he knows the difference and the negative connotation that this carries. Cut blocking is legal and they are doing their job. If the fans, players, and coaches don't like that it's legal, change the rules. Every time we play UGA and win, this is one of the first things a UGA will point out. Same thing happened with UK after the Tax Slayer last year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
