[QUOTE="TJV, post: 644538, member: 4300"] IMO the best thing that can be said for R Rodgers' run blocking is he is inconsistent. The reason for the negativity about him is he's not consistently a good run blocker, he lacks the speed to be much of a receiving threat, and he rarely does anything after the catch. BTW, where did you come up with "33% of the success of Lombardi's Power Sweep depended on the TE"? The TE's block was important but IMO one of the easier blocks on the play - as opposed to the reach blocks required for example. Speaking of Lombardi's sweep, one of the best stories I heard about it was told by John Madden (I've posted this before so if you've read it...). Madden was a young assistant NFL coach at the time Lombardi offered a clinic. Madden said he thought he knew a lot about football but wanted to see the famous coach. He sat in the back row for the eight-hour clinic. Lombardi’s topic for the entire eight hours was just one play, the famous Packers sweep. Madden was flabbergasted and humbled by the experience. At the end of the day, Madden was astonished by what had transpired and what he had learned. As he tells it, "I went in there cocky thinking I knew everything there was to know about football, and he spent eight hours talking about this one play. He talked for four hours, took a break, and came back and talked four more. I realized then that I actually knew nothing about football." [/QUOTE]
