I'm okay with a Shanarat influence on our O-line, as long as it doesn't involve any cut blocking...

It’s more about the offensive scheme that’s important. It has made average QBs look good, good QBs look great, and great QBs elite.

those are legal as long as the defender isn’t already engaged with another OL or TE so if we have a particular talent for it, why not?
my issue is that we risk being penalized through miscommunication or confusion from our OL or even from the defense.
Not to mention someone can get hurt.

Every offense in the league uses cut blocking to some degree, even the ones that don't use as much zone. Cutting off run pursuit on the backside and blocking in the screen game would be just about impossible without cut blocks.

Zone blocking relies on a lot more cut blocking than power and man schemes do. But EVERY team in the NFL for the last 20 years, plus almost every college and HS team runs at least some zone blocking, and it was really just Shanarat that was blowing people's knees out at an impressive rate.
