Sorry for the confusion! I meant off of the snap. The DE is in the FBZ. At the snap the TE shoots at the DE shin area (below the knees). The following website states ILLEGAL LOW BLOCK: A player can not block a person below the knees.

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.
