While you may very well know what constitutues a chop block, what you described is not necessarily a chop block. There are other considerations.

That is what makes this frustrating for officials. Most coaches do not know the complete rule regarding chop blocks. I hear "That a CHOP BLOCK" from some coaches whenever there is a low block, and from others whenever there are two lineman and a low block.
