Samuels Fined For Illegal Block

The block was actually NOT illegal. You can engage low at the line of scrimmage, but not while the opposition is engaged with another player.

Whilst everyone in the game thinks this type of "chop" block should be illegal, i don't think its currently not legal in the rule books. I remember chickenneck (Collingsworth) saying that was a horrible play, but currently is NOT a foul.

actually, it was illegal. garay was already engaged with Kendell( i think) before Samuels got involved. thus, no going low on someone that is already " engaged"
