[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 602445, member: 265"] To put this another way, Parker (and our remaining guys) will have to adjust to smaller splits and working more with other OLs for pass blocking. Run blocking? Not so difficult an animal, the plays will be simpler and so will figuring out your assignment. I can see how someone who hasn't seen him practice would make a mountain out of this particular molehill, but I doubt either Parker or our returning OLs will have much trouble with the adjustments for pass blocking. Again, shotgun blocking simplifies the picture considerable. There's little scooping or brush blocking to get to a downfield block. You pick a zone and you block whoever is in it. Same with pass blocking; there's a lot less play action and the splits are smaller. Well, we'll know soon enough about all this. No doubt thee will be some muscle memory problems at first; I doubt that Key will be able to stop OLs from cut blocking as much as they are used to at first. But the real problem is the footwork on pass blocking. Or something else nobody has anticipated. Nothing, I think, we can't work out of with a little game experience. Now, the [I]DL[/I] … that's another story. [/QUOTE]
