@Coach__French A lineman’s job is to prevent their responsibility from making a play. That is the intention of the offensive line to its core. Successful lines assert their will every chance they get. One cleanup in a pass set can make our jobs easier for the rest of the drive.
@Coach__French Is a zone combo a “tough” play? Or a trap block? Ball runners get tackled by players they aren’t “battling” with all the time. Defense glorifies gang tackling. Why not glorify gang blocking?
@Coach__French Is the player doing his job? Yep. Will the DT be thinking about this the next pass set? Yep. Are we doing this because Dlinemen are more athletic than us and we need help handling them on most plays? Yep.
