I really liked the changes that the staff made in how we are aligning our offensive linemen and how we are now blocking for the run.
With our limits in talent and experience and the fact that our young kids (especially Epping and Gjere) have been getting mauled on the line when trying to block one on one, our coaching staff shifted to a tighter formation and more combo blocking to the play side on runs.
While the results might have been reflected with huge benefits...we at least kept the defenders from throwing our guys into the backfield on every play.
I love this style of offensive line play...look no further than Wiscy and Alabama for similar blocking schemes on run plays. More ball side movement and eventually some cutback lanes will start to appear.
Now if we only had a running back with some vision and the ability to cut back and hit a backside hole.
