Wyatt Teller Dirty Play on Uchenna Nwosu

[SCBills]

In preseason no less..

 

Gross

 

 

 

[H2o]

See, that's why Beane traded him 

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Hard to tell.  Looks dirty like helmet to knee but then it also looks like he hit him in the thigh...  

 

What is stupid is playing your starters in the preseason.  Please go ahead and try to convince me that Seattle player needed that rep.   

 

If these coaches had their way they would still be doing two a day full contact practices with no water.  They are so slow to evolve.

There is nothing dirty about that cut block. And the RB didn’t engage until after Teller cut him. Perfectly legal block of the type you’d expect in that situation. What we have is a Seahawk fan upset that one of their players got hurt. 

[MJS]

Eh, it doesn't look dirty to me. Players go low because it is against the rules to go high. His helmet looks like it is making contact with his hip, but the defender is trying to jump around the block, but his cleat gets stuck in the turf, causing his leg to twist.

Like we expect any of the fans on this board to say anything negative about their shining example of Beane’s “incompetence”…

[boyst]

Clean hit. Not nice or necessary in pre season but legal.

[BuffaloRebound]

Looked like a dude who was a step late to his block and for some reason decided to dive at defenders legs when the RB could’ve slowed him up.  Pretty wild outta control play for a Pro Bowler.

Is that illegal?

Winning post off the preseason! 🏆 🥇 

[RiotAct]

happened really fast… maybe instinct on Teller’s part?

I can sympathize w the guy who said it was dirty tbh

 

I mean yes, it's a legal block- but that's also playaction not rpo so Teller knows the RBs not getting the ball, the DE is clearly crashing down on RB...you don't need to cut the guy there especially knowing he's about to be engaged high and likely getting his lower body stuck

 

looks like the timing between QB drop and his pull was off so he was a little late getting across so I can give him credit for not wanting Nwosu to get in the backfield but he still knows the RB is back there...I say it's a little dirty but probably not malicious

I would suggest the reason is that he'd rather gouge out his own eyes than see his QB take an unnecessary preseason hit due to his own mistake.

If you pause the clip at the right nano second you see the DE is being contacted both low and and high at the same time. Technically an illegal chop block.

you are allowed to initiate contact below waist if the guy is not yet engaged

correct.

 

The foul occurs when the back contacts the DE high while still contacted by Teller low. Thus an illegal chop block. 
 

it’s a “reverse chop” 

 

from the rule book:

 

A1 blocks a defensive player in the area of the thigh or lower, and A2, simultaneously or immediately after the block by A1, engages the defensive player high (“reverse chop”).

The RB engaged the defensive end high immediately after Teller cut him low. It’s a “reverse chop” and falls under the category of illegal chop block personal fouls.

yeah.
 

I doubt this one was called in the game as well. Just because it is illegal by rule doesn’t mean it will necessarily be called.

true.  Probably no malicious intent, moreso a sloppy poorly executed play by Teller.
