Player safety, like other NFHS sports, is one of the emphasis. This is football though.

Cut blocking at the LOS is not inherently unsafe in my opinion. Our team cut on both sides of the ball and we didn't have an injury from being cut all season in 13 games. If officials would call other illegal acts that are unsafe that are already against the rules, like BBW that happens outside of the free blocking zone (Defenses would cut our lead blockers out of the backfield all the time and it was never called) and illegal helmet contact, I might take eliminating cut blocking more seriously.
