Instead of blocking out a player or position they block out a zone or area and anyone on D who's in that particular zone will be their focus of attack. That being said, it appears, granted its still early, that our young OL will encounter many more holding penalties. When the OLinemen move to their zone they sometimes have to reach over to their guy to block and it sure looked as if they were holding quite a bit more. Especially when the Dlinemen were'nt exactly squared up to the guards/tackle they had to make some moves to get to these guys to block. This coupled with the fact that our OL is pretty young, just looked like a recipe for more penalties. Nothing kills drives quicker than O holding calls. You're not going to "stick" to the run when you're second and 15.  Any thoughts?</blockquote>
