Can someone explain 19 to me please?
What is a chop block and why is the NFL considering eliminating it?
Excerpt
A Chop Block is a legal block in the following situations on Running Plays:
(a) Offensive players A1 and A2, who are initially aligned adjacent to each another on the line of scrimmage, may chop a defensive player.
(b) Offensive players A1 and A2, who are initially aligned more than one position away from each other on the line of scrimmage, may chop a defensive player when the flow of the play is toward the block.
(c) A1 is lined up in the backfield at the snap and subsequently chops a defensive player engaged above the waist by A2, and such block occurs outside the area originally occupied by the tight end on either side.
Anyone can go to the ground and give themselves up, that's not exclusive to a quarterback.First I think it's stupid. However I understand the thought process. The difference between a QB and the others is it can appear the QB is giving himself up. Thus defenders caught in a catch 22. Especially now with the two PF ejection rule.
1 is unnecessary. Change for the sake of change. Not a big deal I guess, and I do like being able to return a blocked PAT.
3 and 16 are a bad idea. Just going to cause more confusion, more flags, and more ref involvement in the game.
The rest I don't really take an issue with.
I should've worded it differently. If you look at the play that started this, one might think he was giving himself up? Keeping it within context of that play, no one would think a WR or RB were giving themselves up.Anyone can go to the ground and give themselves up, that's not exclusive to a quarterback.
KC's proposal is ridiculous....
- The Kansas City Chiefs are proposing a rule that would prohibit a quarterback from falling to the ground, getting up, then throwing a forward pass. The Seahawks might not like this proposed change.
If a QB is not down by contact and he get's up and makes a play it's exciting and absolutely not an issue... It's not like it happens very often...

And everybody giving themselves up should stay down, not like Peyton Manning and get back up once everybody else stops on the play....
Except Manning didn't give himself up, and everyone else didn't stop on the play.And everybody giving themselves up should stay down, not like Peyton Manning and get back up once everybody else stops on the play....

Russell Wilson had a similar situation in the playoffs where he fell down got back up and made a big play. It happens sometimes. That is why so many teams are loving Running QB's because they know that a broken play can still turn into something huge for them.
Dunno..Watching in real Time, I thought the play was dead....But maybe thats cause Im not used to Peyton Manning bouncing back up like that
The biggest difference? In the Jets game, the defender hit him and made sure he was down. And look, no penalty!It's very very close, this is Manning "sacking himself" to avoid a hit

And this is Manning stepping up to avoid a sack and falling down

I can see how there's confusion but just teach your players to make sire they get a hand on a guy and not let up until then.
You can tell he wasn't trying to give himself up in the Steelers clip.
The horse collar rule is guaranteed to cause a stir next season.
