I wouldn't call it abandoning the FBZ. This is the way I understand it. Since the QB (in shotgun formation) is not in the FBZ, he does not meet one of the requirements for low blocks in the FBZ, namely that the ball must be in the zone. That being said, we were told by our rules clinician that if the O-lineman cut on the initial surge when the ball is snapped and do not delay the low block it would be considered legal. Anything after the initial surge would draw a flag .
