If the defensive lineman wasn't sure if you were going to dive at his knees, or block up high, he would have to hesitate slightly, or possibly risk having his career ended because he planted his feet as his knees were hit. |

Players are so athletic if they see you dive at your knees you just juke around it. Kelce's block today was coming down the line and the guy's momentum was going in one direction.

I'm actually surprised that some DL haven't started trying to take out the knees of the OL for the Eagles. Most OL and DL that I ever knew kinda had an unwritten rule of "don't end my career with a dirty hit and I won't end yours". Going at a defender's knees/ankles was always considered "dirty".

I thought the rule had something to do with being a blind side blocker. In this case, since Kelce was coming from outside (the tackle box), the defender did not see him coming. In the Eagles case, it's the guys right in front of you. Not the same thing.

Also, I believe that rule came about because of the dirty, cheating Denver Broncos and their style led to many players' seasons or careers ending.

Kelce hit the defender low while an O-Lineman hit him high. That's why he got the penalty.

I've wondered why it's not done more often by entire offensive lines. The broncos got two Super Bowl trophies with no real talent, purely because they had an offensive philosophy of diving at defenders' knees. Apparently it wasn't illegal to do and it works since defenders can't plant their feet, so why did other teams not adopt it?
As improbable as it sounds, I do think there's an honor code in the NFL and it's such an abhorrent thing to do that teams (other than the broncos) won't do it. Kelce's block was just an aberration of positioning and movement, obviously. It'll happen occasionally by accident, and that's not a huge issue.

Now. Why don’t we put Jet in the qb spot and run this play on short yardage?

I'm assuming that more teams didn't pick up on it because it's hard to continue blocking and flowing with the play when your OL is rolling around on the ground trying to trip up defenders. No, that's an "illegal chop block". What Kelce did was a "crack back block". Different things.
