No, I am saying that it is clearly obvious that one of the reasons that they are not run blocking that well is because they are not blowing off the ball. When a run play is called, their first move is to stand straight up, which is why they get blown into the backfield by the D line. I used to be an offensive lineman and we were always taught to fire off the ball low and hard. The lowest man in the trenches always wins the battle, because he has leverage! If you stand straight up, then you have already lost. Now, maybe our running plays are designed as zone reads and have zone blocking...to that I say forget the zone stuff. Line up and block the man in front of you whichever way he goes...destroy him!! I am hoping that they are getting angry by all the negative media about how sickening the running game is...that is all. I am not saying that they have not been trying or anything like that. They have actually done very well, for the most part, in pass protection...especially compared to last year. I hope that this is the week that we say let's go out and blow up the man in front of you! Fire off low and hard...that will get the job done!
i agree.
a little anger and fire couldnt really hurt at this point
