3)CUT BLOCKS= chop blocks and those are illegal.......Shannahan has a bad rep when it come to this his lines in Denver were called "dirty" at times,the O line has to be careful ...

Thanks again to everyone for the encouragement, it makes the time to put the reviews together worthwhile.

Giantone - one #3, I agree with you. Shanny's ZB scheme and the "dirty" label is great in one respect, it creates a bit of fear and uncertainty in the Def Line's mind. One the other hand, opposing coaches will be whining to the refs and they'll be watching closely for illegal blocks. With good coaching, those cut blocks are perfectly legal and shouldn't be penalized.
