[QUOTE="Rodney Kent, post: 25301, member: 923"] Mack: I agree, there has to be some disagreements between the player and coach when a kid is thinking of transferring (other than girlfriends, grades, etal). Sometimes, a coach tells a kid one thing when he is wooing the recruit, but does not tell the kid the whole story. I can honestly see a back, (A, B, or WR) come into this program with dreams of running the ball and catching the ball to show off his talents. Yet, many times the kid gets into the game a few times and his only task is to block. This means he only gets to block most of the time unless he is the featured back. This is highly discouraging to the backs. It is also discouraging to the receivers. Yes, an offensive back or receiver is expected to block in every offense in some way, but most of their blocks in the other systems is more of getting in the way or just a quick block to give the runner a gap. In this system our backs and receivers are asked to be Kama Kazi blockers (throwing your body into the defender to destroy him). This is not the dream of a running back nor receiver. You can take defenders out of the play with as much diversion as you can blocking. However, it is a must that the linemen block to open up gaps on the line. That is their job, and they enjoy it.
