[QUOTE="vamosjackets, post: 26112, member: 216"] Hate seeing posts like this. Please watch the OL and don't just regurgitate what talking heads say who are regurgitating some other talking head. The most significant block for our OL is the drive block. They are going to drive block the DT on the play side on most plays. The second most significant block is blocking a LB in space. Most of the time, that will be a stalk block of some sort where our guy take an angle to cut the LB off. Sometimes it will turn into a cut block if LB is too fast and that's the best way to disrupt his flow. The third most significant block is pulling and kicking out or sealing the DE/OLB on a counter. This will often be a drive block. It can turn into a cut block if that seems to the blocker to be the best way to seal the edge - which is the EXACT same thing every other team's pulling guard does on counters. The fourth most significant block is pass blocking which is NEVER a cut block by our OL. And, finally the fifth most significant block is the scoop block which is simply the backside OL cut blocking the backside DT in order to cut off his pursuit because that is usually the most effective way to disrupt his flow to the playside. OUR OL NEED TO BE GREAT AT DRIVE BLOCKING FOR OUR SYSTEM TO FUNCTION. Cut blocking is NOT the primary function of our OL. Never has been, never will be, and anybody that says otherwise is ignorant and doesn't actually watch the game. Now, our AB's cut block the LB much more often and that is a much more significant part of what they do. So, if a talking head is talking about getting cut, he should be talking primarily about a LB getting cut by an AB. Our WR's never cut block. If they're ever talking about a DL getting cut, it's should always be regarding a scoop block on the backside to cut off pursuit, not a straight on cut block where the play is. And, fyi, Tre was recruited to play DT here (NT in Groh's scheme). He could've ended up on the OL, but either way he would've been a major force and difference maker on either side of the ball for us. [/QUOTE]
