[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 21639, member: 198"] I wasn't talking about cross-training, although that's a different point that's interesting in it's own. What I've heard is that in this system, the OL coachs start all linemen out at Center and then, depending on their ability, progress outward. I can take that two ways: Center is the hardest position in this scheme to play and as the guys don't play as well, they gravitate outwards until they settle into a position (this is consistent with the Center being the QB of the line, calling the signals, needing to be the headiest one there) or it could also mean that Center has the easiest blocking assignments and therefore, as the guys show greater ability, they gravitate outward, towards more difficult blocking assignments. Those are the two things that make sense to me, but I really don't know if any of this is true, which is why I asked to question to begin with. I would think that we would recruit specific kids to specific parts of the line, like other schools do. I believe in our scheme, OT's tend to be smaller than OG's and that we pull Tackles often. I would think the bigger kids, like Devine, would be earmarked for OG and that some kids would move as their body size and mobility changed. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
