YoloinOhio Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 @shaunohara Rule change on #ChopBlock will be hard to enforce. Judgement call by ref, am I ENGAGED or AVOIDING the DL? #GoodLuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homey D. Clown Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 @Adamschefter Big ramifications: NFLs competition committee considering a rule that would eliminate the chop block for 2016 season, per league sources. Could negatively impact Bills run game/offense... Doomed I don't think we could fail to make the playoffs any harder. We're doing a good job of not reaching them without the ramifications of this new rule. Point is, we can't be any more doomed than we already are. ha.

Freddie's Dead Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 There is a difference between a chop block and a cut block. I believe what they're talking about here is the cut block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincec Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) I'm not following the judgement thing. It sounds like anytime you block a guy low when he's already engaged, run or pass, it's a penalty. Where's the judgement call?

YattaOkasan Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Anyone bored enough to figure out how many times we would've been called for the new penalty in 2015? PFF (They like to watch every play right)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Yes it is the chop block where a guy goes high and another goes low. The cut block is downfield, and DB's you still have to deal with it. As far as the impact on our running game, I don't know at this point. We'll find out in 6 months.

vincec Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 i think it's at the point of whether or not he's engaged As far as judgement calls go, I'd say this one is pretty clear. It's nothing like PI for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
