Called it last year in a game and had to explain it to the coach. Afterwards he said, "I guess that makes sense, but what is my little DB supposed to do against that fricken huge full back??!!

Had it Friday night... LB took out lead blocker at the knees.

Coaches were fumbuzzled. D-coordinator said he's never heard of it. Heck, even took my white hat a second for it to click in his head (talking to you TT ).

It all goes back to Rule 2. In coach-speak blocking only applies to the offense. You get the same reaction when you call the even more rare block in the back against the defense. "Blocking is obstructing an opponent...."

I called a block in the back on the defense last year in a JV game (only my second game ever) Coaches screamed at me but I knew I was right.
