if you dive at the back of a guys leg at the line of scrimmage, that is a chop block, which is illegal. furthermore, the play must be in the immediate area for a block below the waist to be legal. regardless, cut blocks and especially chop blocks are certainly dirty and sometimes illegal. all types of these blocks should be banned.
Chop block is where you cut a guy who is being blocked by someone else. Those are illegal. Cut blocks are an important part of quick passes or cutting off backside pursuit and not cheap (unless you played defense).

they're all dirty (when at the los or without giving the defensive player time and space to react), legal, and often employed blocks that should be made illegal. the ncaa and the nfl should not be in the business of promoting injuries.
