[QUOTE="33jacket, post: 365579, member: 628"] its not a question of intent; the rule regarding intent to engage is around a guy falling over another guy. Bottom line, is the guy was engaged high and got cut low. Can anyone disagree with this? Regardless of intent. What HAPPENED, is the guy was engaged high, and got cut low. Its a fact. The rule is structured to prevent a guy on the ground rolling around getting called for a cut, or a chop. Hence why they say intentional. This guy was actively cutting so he intended to execute a cut. He hit the wrong man. He was trying to hit the guy to his left. But, due to line motion. Hit the guy to his right. Unfortunately, 1) he intended to execute a cut 2) he hit the wrong guy 3) the wrong guy being hit was engaged high. IMO, this was a good call; and more a failure on the OL for not executing his block on who he intended to hit. Now, if you mean to shoot person A. And hit person B. You still get arrested 2nd degree for hitting person B. IMO, regardless of his intent. This was a penalty. Thats the point of penalties in this world. A false start is not intentional. Its called. It was an accident by our OL. But IMO this was a chop block; an accidental one. But it was one. [/QUOTE]
