[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 753631, member: 265"] Hey, it's ok if they learn, isn't it? I mean that's what they are supposed to be in college to do. Albeit at, shall we say, limited consistency at places like Ugag and UT. Seriously, I always thought - and said here a couple of times - all the bellyaching about cut blocking was just Italian soccer. It's ok to play the refs; they know what teams are doing and if they are any good (true, sometimes they weren't) they'll discount the complaints. I think what the opposition was actually complaining about was getting hit and hard on [I]every single offensive play[/I]. For most DLs these days that was a new and disconcerting experience. They were used to the wrestling matches that are euphemistically referred to as "blocking" nowadays. Getting guys who were faster then you are lining up and forcing you to take on blocks low and high where they didn't grab you but actually, you know, [I]hit you [/I]was more then some teams had bargained for. Hence the continuing assessment of Tech as the "most physical team we face" that I, personally, miss. A lot. But I played OL in an era where holding was for wusses. Times change. [/QUOTE]
