Pittsburgh Steelers take to social media to celebrate the elimination of the 'chop block'

On Tuesday, the NFL Competition Committee voted to make the 'chop block' illegal moving forward. This decision was met with obvious skepticism, and celebration, depending on which side of the football you called home. Offensive players were left wondering if the stretch running game will become a thing of the past, and defensive players cheered knowing 300-pound linemen wouldn't be crashing down the line of scrimmage diving at their lower extremities.

As for the Pittsburgh Steelers, there were a select group of players who took to social media to discuss the rule change, and what it might mean to them as the 2016 NFL season inches closer and closer.

Lol so blocking just became basically impossible I'm here for this.

Question if you are running a stretch play away from the 3 tech how are you going to block him without cutting him
