[QUOTE="iceeater1969, post: 928181, member: 1237"] I think we all agree Change to non option pass blocking favors ol who weigh more, are stronger and who preferably have quick feet and long arms. The option blocking favored agile strong smart ol men who when needed could get into space and shield the runner. The smaller guy in pass blocking is the exception. (Shamire did well in 14 orange bowl when we went massive ol. Another year at vt first half he could not pull block. In second we put bryan back in and scored 2 tds on pull block and downfield blocks. ) In football ol injury is likely in football - both game, practice and training. Asking a massive ol to block option style or asking a smaller ol to pass block is going to get more injuries. Imo, our carry over ol guys got bigger but were more injury prone (Smith) . Some of the new guys were rushed to play bigger - after injury an ol who was medicaled was at tailgate= weighs no more than 220 -230. With this years ol class we finally have a sustainable mix of large upper class men to freshmen. Plus Key has a new training team with titles like "strength" = ol and "speed" = wr. This will focus responsibility success in the ol - ol recruits will see they have a specialized trainer. Finally - in 15 ND post game both teams exited from North end zone: the ND ol dl were all giants. We had 2 or 3 but they looked like pro team. I stopped believing the program publised weights - shamire was way above 340. [/QUOTE]
