[QUOTE="Pack93z, post: 173672, member: 288"] To me, it comes down to the technique that they are using within the overall scheme. Pass protection is a different beast than run blocking and especially cut blocks. In pass protection you are playing high in the stance, head up and more dependent on hand play. It is apparent they like playing with their pads up, because they are excelling in pass protection. In drive blocking you need to move the player out of a space, thus you need to play with leverage to beat them. In the successful ZB team, they cut block alot, basically imobilizing the defender and allowing the hole to form naturally. But for whatever reason, we are not cutting the defenders down, instead we are trying to block them head up. What I noticed for a couple of games is that we are playing high in the stance and we are getting stoned at the LOS sometimes we are getting knocked backwards. So between not cutting them down, body blocking instead to high in the stance we are allowing the D to flow to which ever hole these backs try to hit. To me, it is their technique moreso than anything. The interior lineman are not maulers at this point. Who knows they could be if we actually tried to knock the dline out of the holes. But instead we are playing man up and getting it handed to us at the LOS. Who knows what the backs have, since they haven't seen a ton of opening yet. But with the creases Wynn had it took on to the house and Jackson is a downhill runner for the most part.. meaning always picking up what is there foreward. Sooner or later we will find a method that works up front and it will take off.. I think the talent is there.. just execution. [/QUOTE]
