I think at some point during the course of the game, I will have an impact - whether it's blocking or whether it's catching the football.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's a general feeling if you take the cut block out of the game, then you're going to significantly impact the run game.
I'm aware that if the ball is thrown in my direction, I'm expected to catch it because the media is going to be on my back.
I'm a guy that can play three downs. You don't have to take me off the field. I value blocking.
To me, discipline in football occurs on the field, not off it.
This is a physical game, and that's how you have to play. When you do that, the defense eventually gets tired of tackling you.
There is only one thing I want to do here, and that is play football to the best of my ability. If I let things start distracting me, I'm not going to be able to do that, which will jeopardise the team as well.
A little more movement of the defensive side of the ball, some rules that will be unnoticed, but a big rule will be allowing the jack linebacker to move out of the box sideline to sideline.
I know I can catch the football. That's the least of my worries.
I just think more precaution should be taken when I'm inside the pocket. Look at all the replays - I'm on the ground every time. It's unfortunate for myself, it's unfortunate for my team and I'd be lying if I sat here and said I wasn't frustrated right now.
Some people try to find things in this game that don't exist but football is only two things - blocking and tackling.
