I always liked Clady's best move. Run at someone full speed and then roll on the ground at their legs. Pro-bowler.

Yes, you are correct, but (as I recently found out) it's called a "lure." In the rule book it is listed as one of the ways to chop block. It's enforced to help avoid injury and I have no problem with the penalty being called even though it appears to be unintentional. |

On Sunday, the officials flagged Broncos tight end Julius Thomas for an illegal chop block on Cardinals defensive lineman Calais Campbell. But even though Campbell wasn’t engaged high by left tackle Ryan Clady when Thomas struck Campbell in the knee, the NFL believes that a chop block indeed occurred. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...al-chop-block/ Quote:

I would be very surprised if the NFL levies a fine on that play. Just looking a the video provided in the topic-header, the block does not look "dirty". Perhaps NFL folks who knew more about the overall context of this game or the players involved would see it differently, though, so the NFL might surprise me and consider it a play that warrants a fine being levied.

CHOP BLOCK ON PASS (WITH “LURE”)
(3) On a forward pass play, A1 chops a defensive player while A2 confronts the defensive player in a pass-blocking posture but is not physically engaged with the defensive player (a “lure”). http://www.nfl.com/static/content/pu...er_Conduct.pdf |

I hope Manning gets his ass hit low and gets taken out. That team does not deserve the wins they get.
Fugg them.

I can see the NFL calling that a lure chop block, given the way the rule is written. I'd be surprised if they fine Thomas, though. The tackle was in a pose to block, that's for sure, so the rule was violated. But did the tackle or the tight end do something "dirty"? The tackle didn't tempt the defender to engage him so that the tight end could cut him, it doesn't appear to me. Instead, it looks like to me like the defender had decided prior to the snap that he was going to stand up run at the tackle without protecting himself from one of the offensive linemen who was closest to him and was set up perfectly to deliver a blow to his legs. |

Campbell was actually line up over the tight end. If he hadn't taken the angle he had, then the offensive tackle might not have even "lured" him. That injury is, in my opinion, the result of a legal cut block being delivered against a defender who did not use good technique to protect himself. The Cardinals coaching staff needs to do a better job of teaching playing technique and less time whining.
(The cut block, by itself, would have been legal had there not been a "lure".) |

No, it wasn't a dirty play it was just a dumb move by Thomas because he didn't get his blocking assignment right.

That wasn't a dirty play. Pollard was being blocked and lunged towards Brady while being blocked. Injuries happen and Pollard's hit on Brady was legal at the time.

Thomas is an awful blocker. He didn't do that on purpose, but I am enjoying the butt hurt from the faithful in this thread. Me and donkey friends are having a chuckle at your expense. Apologies.

During the mid 90's your team was diffenately a dirty team. Even Kimble Anders swas a dirty player on offense. But I let it go once we beat you in the playoffs and went on to win the Super Bowl.
