Brett Kollmann just put out a breakdown pertaining to the techniques of the block by Moss & what Thibodeaux was trying to do to fight off the block. Thibodeaux got caught using a gladiator technique in anticipation of Moss blocking through his chest. The proper technique for Thibodeaux there would have been to use his arms to use Moss' momentum to push him into the turf. Thibodeaux's own lack of experience in terms of being able to read & recognize was more at fault than the cut block by Moss.

The Cut Block on Kavyon Thibodeaux Was Not "Dirty"

Kinda looks like he tripped and fell lower than he meant to go. But intent excepting, this is absolutely not an acceptable block. Cutting knees is no way to go out.

If Spears is asked if this is legal and says no he is wrong.
If he says it is legal but still “dirty”, who is at fault? Rule makers?

Weak defensive play. Defender has to use his hands there.

This could get called on every play in every football game. It looks worse than it is. Even the Giants coach said that is what players are coached to do. Fake outrage from the talking heads so they have something to fill 2 hours during the morning programs.

Looks like he is trying to hit the hip and slides under it.

No one would say anything if he doesn’t get hurt. It’s one of the bigger issues with sports media today

Guy saw him. Guy ducked his upper body down, but didn't actually go low. Moss didn't appear to target the knee, just anticipated him going low with the upper body movement. I know the end looks bad, but it does not appear, on the face of it, to be a dirty or even illegal play.

All of this is TRUTH!!

Funny how this is the only place I’ve seen on the internet with people saying it was a good block

No, it’s hilarious!! Why? Because you seem to think that since people on the “internet” say it was an illegal block & it was dirty that somehow actually makes it illegal & dirty!

BRILLIANT!!

Notice how it's TE like Watson defending it

Maybe thats because he was an actual TE in the NFL forever & knows for a FACT that this is how he & every other TE/OL was Coached to Cut Block. You know why? Because, wait for it…………….ITS 100% LEGAL!

That was Marcel Brooks who was wrongly flagged for the hit on Kyle Trask in the '19 Florida game. As you stated, he hit Trask in thigh and slid down to knee. Perfectly legal.

It doesn’t matter intent . It’s a cut block. Happens all the time and perfectly legal. Just like booger told them on tv

Cut blocks a major part of football. If it's good enough for Army and Navy (who do it constantly) it's good enough for the NFL players.
The pussification of America continues.
