This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

that's not a cut block, that's a clip by jt

and yeah, that's still illegal.

I'm not in favor of making that a legal block. I would say that for the most part when the fanboys whine about playing Navy (it's their Super Bowl, we can't play them over midterms, we can't play them after or before a tough game, their style is so hard to prepare for, the veer!, cut blocks) they're not referring to clips like the one posted (which is an obvious foul) but rather the OL firing off at our DL's knees/ankles to try and cut block (which is legal).

The only issue I have with cut blocks is when it comes from the side, at least a whole man over (not from a shade). That should be illegal and is very dangerous, IMO.
