Are you wanting everybody on here to disagree with you and hate you? I am in PR and let me tell you that this is not how you persuade an audience.

Have you heard the song it's too late to turn back now....well, it's too late, damage has been done. Just ask Michael Vick, or Pres. Bush. Now, you want me to believe all of a sudden you like me. That's funny

GREEN- If you call every bit of contact to the torso an offensive foul, then you will have at least a good amount of plays that will be incorrect. I always hate hearing the "torso" explanation on block/charge play. It is good in a broad, general way, but there is so much more to it than that, imo.

First of all, not every bit of contact to the torso if a foul, only when a player spots up LGP is contact to the torso crucial. You shouldn't hate it, it's a very good barometer.

I personally believe we give 2 steps to players already on block/charge plays. We give them 1 when they gather the ball (pivot) and 2 when they step off the pivot foot onto the other (the one they jump off of). The gather starts the continuing motion meaning the defender has to be there when the offensive player gathers, easily giving the offensive player the ability to switch and/or change direction. How is that not good enough?

This is something new, I have not heard this analogy before. If I was to use this analogy, then the play in the video is a block because the defender was not there when the player gathered the ball.
