Whilst everyone in the game thinks this type of "chop" block should be illegal, i don't think its currently not legal in the rule books. I remember chickenneck (Collingsworth) saying that was a horrible play, but currently is NOT a foul.

actually, it was illegal. garay was already engaged with Kendell( i think) before Samuels got involved. thus, no going low on someone that is already " engaged"
