Legal plays are not dirty.

Suck it up! Any player could tear an ACL on any given tackle on any given Sunday. It was just Cushing’s turn. I hate all the talk about “making the game safer”. Cushing’s contract is for $14 Million. I don’t feel sorry for him wearing a boot & crutches for 6-8 weeks & watching with the rest of us!

Watch O linemen running down field on a screen pass (San Diego I’m looking at you) and you’ll see the linemen cutting defensive backs and that’s fine it’s head on its a clean effective block. What I have a problem with (and I fully acknowledge the Shanahan/Gibbs scheme in Denver used it) is when linemen cut guys from behind, that’s a dirty play, I didn’t agree with it when Tom Nalen did it to the San Diego d-lineman, and I don’t agree with it now.

Um, yes there is MDS – it’s called “clipping”.

It was from behind and outside of the tackle’s. That is the definition of a clip.

Of course Slausen does not see the big deal. He is not going to have to have surgery, hobble around for months of rehab just because some lazy slob couldn’t get his block so he cut you from behind at the knee.

ahhhhm……yes I am a Texan fan.

It was the Jets’ best offensive play of the game….they took out one of the Texans best defenders. Hmm…didn’t the Dolphins best offensive player suffer a knee injury playing against the Jets? What did they call it again? Oh yeah…something about putting hot sauce on an opponent. Classless coach = classless players.
This d-bag would be singing a different tune if it was his knee or one of his teammates’ knees

The league needs to give D linemen some protection on blocks like that.

As a Bills fan I hate the Brady rule more than anyone else….there are too many rules protecting the O and not the D, but, it’s because they aren’t always in a position to protect themselves. Funny how no-one questioned the forearm luanch into Fred Jackson’s Knee deliverd by Laron Landry game 1 against the Jets or the amount of concusions defensive players hand out every year…..now a defensive player gets hurt and we need rule changes. Pull ya skirts up men!!

Broncos won championships forcing defenses to duck for cover or get injured. other teams do it everyday. Not Slauson’s fault, but it should be illegal, just like the horse collar. Costing too many good players, teams and fans.

No reason to get on Slauson for using it.

I would have no problem if this block was made to be illegal, but until it is, almost all NFL linemen use it when needed. This really isn’t a story….

Ravens are the kings of chop blocking! They been doing it ever since harbaugh took over. Dirty team, city and fans..

My fellow Steelers fans,

Enough! This has nothing to do with the Steelers or the Ravens, and some of you are starting to sound like Yankees fans somehow being jealous of the Red Sox.

The player does not have a chance to protect his knee from the side/low contact. Sadly, it seems like a few more have to go down to get the attention from the rules committee.

You can’t have a guy, who is out of position on the O-line, try to make up the difference by throwing his body weight into a part of defenders body that can only handle minimal-double digit weight. There is never a reason in football, to dive at the side or back of anyones’ knee, EVER!
