[QUOTE="jchens_GT, post: 66446, member: 119"] I can take a weak stab at it. If I'm getting wrong or someone else can explain more clearly, please chime in. I've not watched film like a lot of these guys have, but here it goes: General - We do not zone block very much compared to a lot of other teams. Our linemen have a more attacking style. OT - We ask our tackles to get to the next level and make blocks more so than the center or guard. They are also matched up against freaksihly athletic defense ends a lot of times. They tend to be smaller than our guards, which hopefully means quicker to the second level to block linebackers, DBs, or maybe a defender coming from the backside of the play. C - Not that much different apart from the hit 'em in the mouth playing style instead of zone blocking. G - Same as center. They block linebackers on the next level, but don't have to be quite as quick as the tackles. Usually larger than the tackles because we need road graders to open up holes on the inside. Does this seem accurate or am I off in left field? [/QUOTE]
