[QUOTE="vamosjackets, post: 7038, member: 216"] So, one of the adjustments we can make there is to arc the OT outside of the DE (like CPJ shows in the video) to cut off the MLB flying outside. That should also make the DE either sit or even step outside to get a piece of the OT, clearing some room for the BB. But, if that DE closes, we're still pulling and going outside with it. But, the main adjustment I was talking about is to actually change it from an option (where we're option off of the DE) to a straight up dive, where the OT blocks the DE. If we can do this, we should be able to kill it against a MLB who's flying to the outside. If the DT and DE are both blocked by the OG and OT effectively, and the MLB is flying outside, there's nobody left to stop the BB until he gets to the 3rd level. The key is being able to handle the DT and DE with our OG and OT effectively. This is usually helped a lot by the fact that the DE is used to being left alone and being the option man, so he is usually not ready for the OT firing off and blocking him. His normal aggression has been replaced by read-n-react passivity and our OT can really knock him off the ball. I remember reading an incredible blog about how Navy was able to defeat Notre Dame back in 2007, complete with video clips. One of the main points the Notre Dame blogger was making was how the vastly inferior Navy OL were able to block the 5* Notre Dame DL. He showed how on most plays the DE was left alone to think about what his assignment was on the option. Then all of a sudden, he was not the option man, and the OT fired off the ball and blocked the heck out of him. Even though he was physically superior to the blocker, the blocker was able to get the best of him because he was taken out of his game and wasn't ready to play physical on some plays when he had to do the opposite on most others. We should really be able to exploit this with our guys. And, we usually do. [/QUOTE]
