Video of latest Chop Block

I am a little upset the Hugh Nall allowed this to happen for the 2nd time in the same season.

Count again.

The thing that baffles me is:

even if he doesn't go low, that's still an illegal block in the back. How could he have thought it was a good idea to block him?

I thought the same thing....the apologists can't explain that away.

I had the misfortune of watching the game last night at a party which was almost all barn fans and they were joking and bragging about knocking, possibly ending the careers, two high profile players out of games. They thought it was great.:conf2: I know all schools use this bocking technique but they don't do it to intentionally hurt other players. The barn is the only one I have seen this year get called for it.

If the refs ejected a player or two, the word would get out, and it would stop.

Being a former player, as some of you are, I know that there is an area (3 yards in front and behind the line of scrimmage)where almost any block is allowed, the chop block is legal in this zone as long as the player getting chopped is not being "occupied" by another player. Basically you can't stand a defensive player up by blocking him and then have another player chop him. These types of blocks are usually used on the backside of the play and its called a reach or scoop block. But in the game I saw a blatant chop block of a player, the second by an Auburn player. And not too long after that, Barn was called for a hands to the face, that means a lineman got his hands under the facemask of an opposing player trying to gouge an eye or something. So apparently, the O-Line at Auburn is being taught some dirty tactics...

So does this make Samuels an evil, dirty player? Or could his just be an accident? Way too much willingness to attach malice to these events.....

And what, pray tell, does Chris Samuels have to do with the barn's reputation for dirty play on the OL? If Chris Samuels develops a reputation for dirty play I assure you we will call him out here. Have Wingnut, Pugh, or Ramsey called with any apologies for their "accidents"? Way too much willingness to attach a Bama reference to these events. Mutually exclusive.

I coached a kid in New Jersey 4 years ago who did the same thing in the third game of the season. Very similar, ref didn't see it but I did! I sat him out the remaning 6 games of the season for that stunt and he hates me to this day still. He could have potentially ended this kids hopes for a scholarship and a shot a Div.1 ball. Totally classless! I never coached the kids to do that and by God I never had another one do it again. I don't blame the Barn coach for teaching it to this moron. Sometimes you just can't beat the stupid out of some individuals.
