Perhaps I'm reading what you intended wrong, but the other two parts of the
REQUIREMENTS for a "Chop Block" are 1. the block must be delayed, and (2) The opponent must be in contact with a teammate of the low blocker.
An offensive lineman making an immediate initial contact at the ankles of an opponent, who is NOT in contact with a teammate of the blocker, who was on the line at the snap, while the ball is still in the FBZ is making a perfectly legal block.
All "Chop Blocks" are blocks below the knee in the FBZ, but
NOT all blocks below the knee in the FBZ are "Chop Blocks".
