Where is he now?

He had back surgery in the off season and was unable to play this season. I was under the impression he would be back in 2009 - this is the first I have heard of him transferring.

I posted on one of the other threads regarding this play, if it is the same clip of Pugh rolling the guy from behind. It wasn't a chop - you have to be engaged up high and then get cut by another player for it to be a chop.

It could have been called a clip, yes. However, things like this happen a lot more than a lot of people realize and they don't get called. If you watch line play, you see trips, leg whips, clips and a lot of other things that are either given a pass or just missed because the officialsare focused on other things and not looking low.

Blocks like this are dangerous - I got clipped when I was playing and it blew my right knee - but roll and cut blocks are taught by many line coaches (Gibbs used them when he was with the Falcons, the 49ers are notorius for going low on defenders) and if there isn't some discipline on the player's part you have cases like this come up.
