Chop block interpretations:
1. Center (A51) and right guard (A58) block high on noseguard (B70). After noseguard is stood up, A51 disengages briefly and then cuts B70 (below thigh) while he is still engaged high with A58.
2. Center (A51) and right guard (A58) block high on noseguard (B70). After noseguard is stood up, A51 disengages and immediately cuts B70 (below thigh) while he is still engaged high with A58.
3. Center (A51) and right guard (A58) block high on noseguard (B70). After noseguard is stood up, A51, while maintaining contact, slides below B70's thigh while he is still engeaged high with A58.
I have CB in all three cases. However, other officials cite "initial contact" as seen with block in back and below waist. Following this, they would say #3 is not CB as initial contact was above thigh. I don't see "initial contact" language in CB rules and dont' think this plays into this foul. What says you?
