[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 334170, member: 265"] What I liked the most about this was Roddy's explanation of how the blocking on the TO changes with the reaction of the D. He's talking about the base TO and points out that the "same" play can be [I]three different ones[/I] depending on how the D is reacting to the O. The blocking changes with what the D is doing. Seeing Swain's reaction to that was a real payoff. It is plain that none of the panel had gotten a real take on how the blocking changes the play into [I]plays[/I]. The other thing this showed is why schools like Tech and the service academies use the O. It's pretty simple: all these schools have to recruit smarter players. Consequently, they are more able to change on the fly quickly and keep multiple blocking assignments in mind as the calls come in for them. As a former OL, I'm particularly attuned to this. I played in Os in high school and college (Div 3) where the skill guys made the machine go. Now I get to watch an O where the OLs are the stars! I [I]love[/I] that. [/QUOTE]
