[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 858578, member: 265"] I've said this before. The performance of an OL depends a lot on the kind of offense it has to block for. Paul's O was formulated to make things easy for OLs: yard-wide splits, tons of deception to freeze LBs and DBs, four potential RBs on every play, lots of planned double teams, WRs who were trained to (gasp!) block, and plays that often left the better DLs (the DEs in most cases) unblocked. I mean that was a recipe for OL paradise, even against good teams. The shotgun spread we run now depends instead on being able to out physical the D on virtually every play. And we weren't doing the obvious things - run our QB, two back sets - that would have helped. In short, our OLs, with average talent, were expected to do too much. We can only hope that Coach Long is more willing to design things so that they can catch a break. [/QUOTE]
