BarleyNY Posted August 27 Posted August 27 21 minutes ago, Sammy Watkins' Rib said: 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. 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”). Note: It is not a foul if the blocker’s opponent initiates the contact above the waist, or if the blocker is trying to slip or escape from his opponent and any engagement with him is incidental. The RB looks to have pulled up so the contact was pretty incidental. in any event the assertion was that Teller’s block was illegal/dirty. He couldn’t have known what the RB was doing behind him.

End result of the play though is a reverse chop. Could have drawn a flag but not surprised it did not. Quote

Nothing worse in life than doing something just because you always have done it that way Fear is the mind killer…, your broad brush is absent of paint, ask yourself this question, how many starters in the NFL are injured in the first four games of every season? Again, Aaron Rodgers in the first quarter of the first game of the season, dudes are getting hurt in every game, are you wanting to end preseason TC as well, guys from every team get injured there too, you seem to have forgotten that football is a purposefully violent game, your perspective is askew, nuthin but luv. GO BILLS!!! Quote
