[QUOTE="Longestday, post: 365637, member: 402"] [USER=1414]@ilovetheoption[/USER] I disagree with 62 not executing his block well. He was aimed at the spot the blitzing LB (25) would have been had the LB continued forward progress. The LB had to stop or be laid out on the ground and did not get to the mesh or to Benson. 62 did his job and prevented his assignment from getting to the mesh. I also wonder about legal holding making the cut block less of a need inside the box. Keep in mind, a cut block is quicker and is better used with such wide splits. Hard to get in front of a man to legally hold if he is shooting a gap. Shorten the gaps will make legal holding easier but less space for a back to get through. Also keep in mind that shorter gaps and straight up blocking becomes more about jimmy and joes and who is bigger. Cut blocking is a great equalizer as the legs are the week point. I am not mad about the call actually. Shoot, I keep seeing the slow motion from the halfway point and it looks like a chop block (just like a ref might not see the whole block). I just saw a lot of people calling this a chop block and I don't think it was.... But chop blocks are drive killers. I would much rather miss a false start call than have a chop blocked called. There were two defensive offside that were clear on VT that were not called. I saw them in my seat and I saw it on the video. [/QUOTE]
