    at least he's honest. that's more than we can say for tubby telling us he doesn't teach his kids this.

    edit: actually i think there's a difference btwn cut blocking and chop blocking but it's lunch time.

    Yeah cut blocks are legal as long as the defender isn't already being blocked. That's the part Auburn has trouble with.

    Exactly. Legal cut blocks are alright but Auburn has a tendency to use the illegal chop as well.

    Cut blocks shouldn't be legal, certain some of these blocks can draw a big fine in the NFL. Teams that use cut-blocking routinely commit inadvertent chop blocks routinely, too. Way too much . . . Auburn got called on it several times last season.

    When they're on national TV in a BIG game and committed against a genuine star player, I think they count at least double. :wave:

    Thought maybe the good 'ole Webster's dictionary could help:


    Main Entry:1sev·er·al [​IMG]Pronunciation: \ˈsev-rəl, ˈse-və-\ Function:adjective Etymology:Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Medieval Latin separalis, from Latin separ separate, back-formation from separare to separateDate:15th century

    1 a: separate or distinct from one another <federal union of the several states> b (1): individually owned or controlled : exclusive <a several fishery> — compare common (2): of or relating separately to each individual involved <a several judgment> c: being separate and distinctive : respective <specialists in their several fields>2 a: more than one <several pleas> b: more than two but fewer than many <moved several inches>

    So, whether you count 2003 as one or as one-half, we have more than two, but fewer than many. We'll work on getting to the "many" stage.
