REPLY: The website you directed us to must be authored by TV football commentators (Theismann, Madden, etc.). Just read the definition of "chop block" and you'll realize that site is for the birds! By the way, an illegal low block is one that's below the waist, not below the knees. And such blocks can be legal if they meet the criteria that the other posters have mentioned.
