Hell, OL hate it because as a general rule of thumb they hate having to get up after diving. But there are uses for the cut, and it's for the most part clean. When it gets dicey, is when it's executed from a place out of the defender's line of sight. Or when it's a chop, where a defender is already engaged with another blocker. It's as much of a part of football as a snap, handoff or catch. It's typically used most by an outsized blocker, or on a pull / outside run play. The use of it between the tackles is becoming nearly non-existent because of the probability a chop gets called. *and the target when taught correctly is top of the thigh board, gravity brings you to the knee when you leave your feet.
