Chop blocks you just have to look out for as a defender and they are used a lot to get a guy off his feet and are only illegal if the defender is already engaged (I confess I did not see the play he was referencing). Now crack-back blocks are another story... You want to see a really dirty crack-back block... search for a video of Frank Middleton's hit on the Bills' Sam Cowart (a linebacker that I thought was on the path to being one of the better one's the Bills have ever fielded) - pro-bowl bound that year, but he was never the same after that hit, ruptured his achilles trying to get back out there in 2001 - bounced around the league for a while. Truly cost him, but he said he had no hard feelings - not sure I would have felt the same. Jarvis Landry on Aaron Williams? Anyway, this was a very chippy game. Perhaps Dawkins chop block on the 1st offensive snap set the tone. Perhaps the Jets were really fired up after getting embarrassed at home the last time we played them.
Nick the Greek Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Is there video of the play? I don’t remember it. 1

They didn't when Landry ended Aaron Williams career, they didn't retaliate when Gronkowski tried to break Tre White's neck, they didn't retaliate when #96 tried to end Hauschka's season yesterday. Players can do what they want against Bills players knowing that there will be no retaliation. Sad really. 1

As demented as that rationale would be by Anderson, perhaps that was the case.
RyanC883 Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) I thought it was a really dumb play. I don't know why Dawkins would intentionally do that. It looked like he was surprised Teller was blocking Jenkins. Just dumb all around. 15 yard penalty. And if dirty, even worse. 1 hour ago, WideNine said: Meh - Nothing to see here.

I think Dawkins went to chop block him, and was surprised or did not know that Teller was already engaged. Just a dumb play, but as you correctly point out, part of playing on the DL.

I was really disappointed when Edmunds had Darnold lined up for a kill shot on the game tying TD that made it 20-20 and chose not to take it. He had Darnold dead to rights and just ran past him without making any contact. It probably would have been a penalty, but the Jets defenders took every shot they could get on Allen drawing multiple flags along the way. Edmunds should have been aware of how the game was going and taken out a rival QB who now knows Edmunds won't lay him out in the future. Oh Thank you for bringing that up. I thought the exact same thing at the time. The Jets are playing physical all day and killing Allen every chance they get. They even crush our kicker. Bills don't lay an extra hit on Darnold all day long. When Edmunds is steamrolling towards Darnold he completely lays off and doesn't finish the play. I guess he is Mr. nice guy? All i can think is that it was 3rd and goal and Edmunds didn't want to get flagged for a late hit. Understandable but jeez, he was close enough to initiate some contact, just not high or driving him into the ground.

If Dion lead the game off with a cheap block that may also help explain why the Jets were so fired up. That was almost as crappy as Tom Bradys lead blocking efforts

MrEpsYtown Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 I saw a similar chop block, Bears receiver went low on engaged DL on a split zone play. It was clearly a mistake like Dawkins. Rams guy didn't act like a maniac and call people out saying they are dirty. Jenkins is a biotch.
Beast Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 It was a cheap shot by Dawkins. That ***** should not be part of the game.

He was supposed to dive before he got engaged but was to late. Also atleast that was properly flagged unlike the dirty blindside block on our Kicker.

Dablitzkrieg Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 Dawkins has sucked in a lot of games this year. He also almost got Allen killed on a few plays yesterday. The entire offensive line blows!

As demented as that rationale would be by Anderson, perhaps that was the case. I dunno about the retaliation angle...just think the opportunity was there and the Jets were taking shots all day. You could queue up all the tackles that kickers have attempted to make over the years for a good laugh and most of them are pretty darn fugly...so no surprises that Hauschka reverted to a soccer-type tackle that missed...probably more a part of his background than NFL form tackling. Can't imagine anyone on the Jets feeling threatened by that...probably got a lot of laughs during film reviews. If Hauschka had more leg on the kickoffs, or if the directional kicks that McDermott mentioned actually went in a direction other than right into the Jets' Andre Roberts' hands, and if our Special Teams coverage wasn't so damn bad, it would not have come down to him having to try to make the stop.

That's also a chop block now. You can't engage high or low immediately after or at the same time someone has engaged low or high.
