[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1038011, member: 18006"] This is the longer part of the post I've broken this down and watched it a couple of dozen times over the last couple of days, and I'm just really impressed with how well our 2nd team executed it. There's a hell of a lot going on here. The concept of this play is actually quite simple, but the execution of it is extremely complex. It requires perfect timing and coordination from several blockers, and precise lateral movements by the offensive line across the flow of the play. Lombardi's Packers used to practice this for hours at a time, over and over again, and these guys have done very well with it in just a few weeks. Look at how quickly the center, Sean Rhyan (#75), snaps the ball from the shotgun, then (while the left guard takes over his man) immediately drops back 3 full yards and pivots to his right to get in front of the ballcacrrier, Wilson (who has already taken the handoff and is accelerating outside to his right) and leads the whole play downfield. Look how fast the left guard, Royce Newman (#70), first "shows" a straight-ahead run block on the nose tackle (who is lined up against the center ) and then releases his man and proceeds past the D line - then cuts downfield to his right to get completely [I]behind [/I]the whole first 2 levels of the defense, and position himself in front of the play in case any defenders have gotten loose downfield ahead of the runner and need to be mayhemed. Wilson is comnpletely behind Rhyan throughout this entire sequence, so Rhyan has no way of knowing how the play is developing behind him - or for that matter, whether it even [I]is[/I] developing. He doesn't have tiime to look over his shoulder, and he knows that - he's trained to just execute his assignment at full speed as though everything behind him is proceeding as designed, because if it isn't (if it's already broken down) there isn't anything he can do to fix that anyway. His job is to just keep going until he hears whistles. So what do Rhyan and Wilson do? The instant the first stages of the play develop, and Wilson has the ball securely in his hands and catches up with Rhyan, he stretches his "off" arm (the non-ball arm) forward and grabs the back of Rhyan's jersey. Rhyan now knows Wilson has got the ball, he knows he's in stride and not yet fighting off tacklers behind Rhyan's field of vision, and at this point all they need to do is keep executing - keep going. The play is working at that point. This happens roughly 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage, and Wilson never lets go of his jersey again. At this point, the two of them have become one unit, and they will remain linked as one for the rest of the play. Rhyan will now know how fast Wilson is in step with him, and unless Wilson pushes against his back with his hand, he''ll know that there aren't any defenders outside of his field of vision who need to be accounted for - he is free to pick the best point of attack and hit it at the best possible speed, because the two-man unit is ahead of the pursuit and just needs to keep moving. Wilson's telling him, "go, man, I'm with you." Look at how quickly right guard Jacob Monk (# 62) takes a half step back, drops behind the right tackle, and runs across the field ahead of Rhyan and across his path all the way to the far side of the play to blow up the cornerback Hailassie and take him completely out of the play before Rhyan and Wilson can get there. Haliassie might as well have been hit by a garbage truck; Monk just stonewalled him. And then of course came the Nantucket sleigh ride, where the 220 pound Wilson just grabs his jersey and lets the 325 pound Rhyan drag him 5 more yards for the first down. That man wanted every single inch he could get. This is just teriffic coordination between the OL and the runner, especially when you consider that some of them were studying for college finals 6 months ago. It's obviously not as smooth and clean as when Taylor, Thurston, and Kramer were running it, but.... it worked for 11 yards and a first down. I'm really excited to see it. [/QUOTE]
