[QUOTE="YJMD, post: 222107, member: 1929"] I hope this is good and a sign of looking at the actual abilities of our players. I think this was the biggest problem last year. Our line just didn't have the ability to execute the blocking schemes that were necessary to counteract the defenses we faced, particularly in blocking linebackers and safeties who would line up several yards behind the LOS and aggressively pursue the ball. We would often have a pulling lineman try to block, but it's just an athletic mismatch. We had more ability in 2014. I hope that these changes give us a better ability to execute. Sometimes, though, mucking with things just produces confusion. Another approach is to take the abilities we have and try to highlight them. Intentionally leave certain guys off the blocking assignment and counter using misdirection or make them tackle a guy in space instead of heading downhill, or use receivers and backs to block them, or torch them in the pass game so they need to drop back into coverage sometimes. Sadly, we didn't have the experience to do those things last year, and the pass blocking was even worse than the run blocking. [/QUOTE]
