Re: Redskins Learn Nuances of Cut-Blocking
Axing cut block a no-brainer - NFL - ESPN
Another article that is brought up by some no name QB that agrees with my point of the inconsistency of the NFL to create so many rules to protect offensive players but not for defensive players. ''The inconsistency in allowing the cut block borders on the absurd. Think about all the rules that promote offense and protect offensive players: A defensive player can barely breathe on a quarterback without getting a 15-yard penalty ... a wide receiver can't be hit when he goes across the middle (until he has the ball) ... a defensive back can't bump a receiver after five yards ... and then there's all the offensive pass interference that isn't called. But it's OK to block a defensive lineman at the knees, one of the most vulnerable places for a professional football player. |
