Chop Block: Priest busted molesting defensive linemen's legs - Page 5

Taco John · 09-05-2005, 07:06 PM

I waited for a few days for this thread to magivally appear as people demanded that Preist be immediately benched for his dirty, dirty tactics during the Rams game. But yea, I didn't see one. Anyone catch Priest's cheap shot? The guy not only dove at the legs, but HE ROLLED!

I'm just here to join in the chastisement that I'm sure is bound to ignite any second now about these dirty tactics. Knowing the sentiment around this place as I do, I know that it can be found under general agreement here that only the most cheap of players would ever do such a thing as dive at a defenders legs and then roll. And I must say that I agree. While I do support the cut block, the chop block is cheap.

And someone has to say it:

This thread is worthless (and thus will be dismissed as TJ BS) without pictures.

Once Taco can find another play in which Priest did this to another player, I'll take this thread seriously. Meanwhile, all I have to do is pull out any Bronco tape and find a number of times where a Bronco chop blocks. Not cut blocks, mind you, chop blocks. Blocks a player below the knees while he is engaged wityh another blocker. If any of you have old Bronco game tapes, concentrate on the Bronco O-line. It happens a startling amount of time.

I reckon it's like the old Kentucky basketball teams getting away with the agressive fouling they do on their full court presses. If the the refs called it every single time, the game would last five hours and they would look vindictive. Hence they only call it occasionally.

Yeah Taco, roll that beautiful bean footage.

Then, compare it to Foster's hit on Williams last year and tell me which one is cheaper.

HC_Chief · 09-06-2005, 10:01 AM

Once Taco quits acting like a complete douchenozzle, I'll take his stale act seriously.

I can't believe how many of you fishies he snags with his trolling.... it's amazing.

Coach · 09-06-2005, 10:10 AM

Hey Taco, how you feel about your QB? Need another reason defenses are starting to believe that Jake Plummer lacks the toughness to be a good NFL QB?

RB's use it all the time, and I have seen some of out OL attempt to do it as well. Normally RB's do it to either cut a guy down to give the QB a whole to throw threw or because the only way to stop someone bigger then you is to take out their legs. I doubt anyone really has an issue with RB's using the chop block as long as the DL isn't already in contact with someone else.

I would expect Taquito Boy to recognize a cheap chop block when he sees one especially considering his team does more of them than all the rest in the league combined.

As shown by the above post, you don't even understand the difference between a cut block and a chop block.

Cut blocks are legal and performed by EVERY TEAM IN THE NFL, so long as they are within the tackle box. Denver pisses everyone off because (1) they use the cut block MORE than most teams (far more) and (2) they have, for some insane reason, been allowed to use them BEYOND the tackle box for many, many years.

I did not see the play in question, but diving at someone below the legs to cut him, and rolling, have nothing to do with anything in terms of whether the play is legal or not, or cheap or not.

Cut blocks are flat illegal, all the time, anywhere.

Feel free to look up what a cut block is versus a chop block so you don't waste all our time again in he future. As a Broncos fan, I'd figure you'd know this stuff cold...

It's NOT a chop block. It's a cut. Don't let TJ confuse you.

You are exactly wrong. You've got it exactly opposite. Dork.

Come on Amoron... Tell me again about how cut blocks are flat illegal, all the time, anywhere, while Chop blocks are legal. You're so knowlegable...
