[QUOTE="Heyjoe4, post: 913428, member: 13032"] Interesting stuff. I thought the "old" sweep the Packers ran disappeared because the defensive linemen became much faster relative to running backs. I still think that's partly true. I'm trying to figure out how to apply the judo lesson you reference and use a defense's speed against them. One answer for a running back, and blockers, is rather than outrun a defense on the edge, which rarely works, cut back to the inside and let the defense run past the new point of attack. That takes more than just speed on the part of the running back and the blockers. I'm thinking back to how easily Barry Sanders would change direction without giving up speed and simply let the defense run past him as he went north and south. Granted, Sanders was a generational talent. [/QUOTE]
