Thanks LUDB,

I don't like how they use the word "chops" instead of cuts or some other word. I associate the word chop with a chop block by definition.

for example when they say.....
( 1) On a forward pass play, A1 chops a defensive player while the defensive player is physically engaged by the blocking attempt of A2.


this makes it sound like the term "chop" block can be a term for a cut block which is the way most people use it for.
