For those who don't understand the difference
Right but this was illegal already so no need for the rule to be approved again.
I guess I am still confused on the Chop Block...Does this mean Cut Blocks are still legal because Chop Blocks have been illegal for quite some time.
So no changes to what is or isnt a catch?

I read the chop block as...you are now no longer allowed to simply dive at the defenders' legs, knees, feet, in order to try and block them.
Before, you could still do this, but they had restrictions on how/when.
Now it's just illegal.
This is the best change they had, other than making the PAT rule permanent.
You could be right.Not true. At least from what I understand. An OL player can still go low just as long as the Defensive Player is not engaged by another blocker. Difference between Cut Block and Chop Block.
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...
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.K, then if WR and RB touch the ground without contact they are down by contact as well.
KC just realizes they lost Justin Houston and is looking for as much help as possible to get sacks.
