Blind Side Hits

Its interesting actually. It's widely known that the Patriots use techniques team wide that are border line illegal, and sometimes very illegal. Not just the contact rule. But their offense uses cut blocks regularly with their tight ends and wideouts.

I hadn't heard or seen that. The only team I know of that there has been very negative talk about how they block is the Broncos.

I saw a short story on it somewhere about midseason last year. And of course the Broncos were mentioned. But they also showed several examples of low blocking from the blind side on defensive players, by the Pats. Its hard to be credible when I cant remember where I saw it, but I do remember it being reputable, visual evidence.

49ers used to be somewhat known for cut blocking too...

The 49ers of the 80's put cut blocking on the map. Their offensive line coach Bobb McKittrick was often criticized for the 49er's blocking "technique". Dirty or not, you can't deny how effective his methods were.
