No a chop block is not confined to the free blocking zone....I called one downfield a couple seasons ago...about 15 yrds down field....they are ugly and I wish that the HFHS would go to the college rule (pre 2008) and any combination block that included a low block...ie low high, high low, and low low as opposed to only penalizing if the 2nd block is low...the NCAA this year took out the low low combination block from the chop definition.....
