[QUOTE="weeds, post: 503119, member: 39"] You know something, Raptor?, you're on the money here. However, the proverbial devil is in the details. I've always been a fan of "line play", if you will. I've always admired the big fat guys up front. I'm one of those guys who has been known to miss plays because I really don't pay primary attention to which back gets the ball. So...in the case of the Vikings for example, #28 could be scooting for a 30 yard run and I'll be talking about the blocking that allowed him to do so. I'll maintain, as you do and rightly so, that the Green Bay Packers could have #28 in its backfield and he'd be an 'average back'. Now... is that because the Pack and McCarthy are 'pass first', or, McCarthy abandons the run too quickly; or, the Packers' offense is geared toward moving the chains in larger increments, or, James Campen doesn't know how to coach up his guys, or, the ZBS-flavored blocking schemes (the Packers and their media downplay the actual usage of the ZBS-that's why I use the qualifier "flavored"); or, our OL are too 'athletic' for a power running game ... I don't know. What I do know, based on my own bias confirmation, is that by-and-large, the holes aren't there. I get tired of watching Green Bay running backs running head first into the *** of a GB lineman who has been "stood up". [/QUOTE]
