Speaking of screens, are DL not taught that when every single OL let's you through IT'S A TRAP! I rarely see a DL pull up and not chase the qb, but it always blows up the screen when they do.
Are DL just supposed to chase the QB and let the others make the tackle, or is it not that easy to smell a screen on the field?
You still have to pressure the QB into the throw. I'm not sure about assignments though but if you don't have someone chasing down the QB he could simply tuck it and run. I've seen many a screen pass blown up because of a DL or DE sniffed it out.Speaking of screens, are DL not taught that when every single OL let's you through IT'S A TRAP!

He played college, but I heard interviews from some NFL guys that said only one man could have played straight outta high school, and that man was Earl Campbell. Most underated back to play the game.
I think most people forget about him...because he never pounded his chest to draw attention to himself--and also never attempted to blow his own horn.
However, there's no doubt...He is one of the Top 5 backs to have ever played the game! :salute:
