LeGOATski Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Because of injuries? Where should they draw the line for considering rule changes for the sake of reducing injuries? Edited February 29, 2016 by LeGOATski
YoloinOhio Posted February 29, 2016 Author Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Because of injuries? Where should they draw the line for considering rule changes? hopefully they draw it here. It would be disastrous for run based offenses.Chop block is legal now?only legal on run plays. Illegal on passing plays. They want to eliminate it altogether. Edited February 29, 2016 by YoloinOhio
CommonCents Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Because of injuries? Where should they draw the line for considering rule changes for the sake of reducing injuries? When the over/under reaches 60 points for every game on the schedule, would be my guess.
LeGOATski Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 hopefully they draw it here. It would be disastrous for run based offenses. only legal on run plays. Illegal on passing plays. They want to eliminate it altogether. And illegal when the defender is engaged with another offensive player. I think they have already set good limitations for it. Under Marrone, I hated that the Bills' linemen would do it in the open field against agile DBs/LBs...it was not effective and frustrated me.

Under Marrone, I hated that the Bills' linemen would do it in the open field against agile DBs/LBs...it was not effective and frustrated me. o-linemen were still allowed to do it if they were lined up next to each other to start the play. I would be interested to know how much the Bills utilized this blocking technique in 2015 with Roman. Edited February 29, 2016 by YoloinOhio
zonabb Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 If launching the crown of your helmet into the face of a running back, knocking him out cold and causing a fumble is still legal, the NFL remains a tone deaf joke.

KD in CA Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 hopefully they draw it here. It would be disastrous for run based offenses. only legal on run plays. Illegal on passing plays. They want to eliminate it altogether. It seems illogical to me that a certain type of block is legal on some plays and not others. When does a passing play turn into a running play and vice versa?

Apparently it is http://sportsworld.nbcsports.com/ryan-shazier-gio-bernard-hit/ That article seems to say that it should have been illegal, but the refs got it wrong. Did I interpret that correctly?
K-9 Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Chop block is legal now? The illegal chop block is illegal now. If a defender is not already engaged, you are free to chop him. GO BILLS!!!
boyst Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 This is a major load of crap. Its so easy to chop block and most good OL frown upon it. No one can survive as a glod OL with just being able to chop block. And at times players will slip, will fall and thus chop.
Saint Doug Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Maybe they should continue working on the definition of a catch first.

That article seems to say that it should have been illegal, but the refs got it wrong. Did I interpret that correctly? it said the refs were correct in not flagging him, and he wasn't fined. The NFL said Gio had the ball long enough to become a runner and therefore he wasnt defenseless. Since he wasnt defenseless, he could be hit in the head or neck area, and with the helmet. The ban against use of the crown of the helmet doesnt apply in a bang-bang situation. It requires the person delivering the blow with the crown of the helmet to line up the target. In this case they believe it was "bang-bang."
