[QUOTE="bravejason, post: 46081, member: 1069"] Forced to make a choice, I take the road graders. My reasoning is that if the center and the guards can get a good push, the QB has the room and time to mesh, read, and execute the option. Also, if the center and the guards can get a good push then the defense may align the linebackers closer to the LOS. That will reduce the room the linebackers have to maneuver and reduces their ability to scrape and that should help the offensive tackles because they don't have to go as far to block the linebacker. Finally, the QB sneak and the QB follow should be more effective with the center and the guards are getting a good push. I think having the great space blockers makes you more vulnerable to strong defensive lines. In addition to the risk of having the offensive linemen pushed into the backfield - a detriment to any offense but moreso in one where the QB needs to operate at the LOS - you also have the risk that the defense may choose to interfere with the movement of your space blockers to keep them off of the linebackers. It's kind of like how a 3-4 defense works. Rather than have the defensive line penetrate, use it to restrain the offensive linemen so that the linebackers can flow to the ball carrier. [/QUOTE]
