area blocked kicks odds winning
You get two kicks blocked in a game, your odds of winning go down significantly. So, that's an area we have to get straightened out.
assigned block defeat defensive football guy
What you need to think about it is, 'How do I defeat the guy who is assigned to block me?' That's what defensive football really is about,
ball blocked chain ends good maybe plays slow
Maybe we can put a ball and chain on him. That would slow him down, ... He's never out of the play. There's a lot of plays that he makes that you actually see him getting blocked and you think, Oh, that was a pretty good job, and then he still ends up on the ball somewhere.
attack block came clark corey dug expecting filled gap good guy hole matt point pulled quicker quite safety saw tackle
We got a good block at the point of attack from Graham. Neal pulled and the safety came up and filled the gap quicker than we expected. That wasn't really the guy Neal was expecting to block but he saw him in the hole and reacted to it and dug him out of there. Matt and Logan (combination-blocked) the tackle up to (middle linebacker Danny) Clark. We didn't quite get Clark blocked, he got over the top, but he wasn't able to get enough on Corey to keep him out.
block hard knock line next stay
They consistently knock the line of scrimmage back. They're hard to block and if you stay on them and block them, then it's hard to get to the next level. It's hard to get up to the linebackers. And if you get off of them too quick, then they penetrate.
assignment block guy missed
It's a combination of things. Sometimes we've missed blocks. Sometimes we've missed an assignment and didn't block a guy that we should have blocked.
football block smart
Some guys are football smart and they're not smart in other ways. Other guys get 1500 on their SATs and can't get a double-team block right. No, that definitely, in my experience, sometimes it correlates, sometimes it doesn't. I don't think you just take it for granted.
ball block defense depending high people run understanding unfolds watch
A lot of people think you just give the ball to a back and watch him run and that's all there is to it, like they do in high school. But understanding how each block is being made on the line, depending on how the defense unfolds after the snap, is a big part of it.
block certainly corner deal focus good outside run side throw
They have good players. Not just (Stroud and Henderson), but certainly they're a big focus of it and they're right in the middle. You have to deal with them every play. It's not like you have a corner where you can throw to the other side or you have an outside linebacker (where) you can run away from him. It's two tackles. There is no play where you can run that you don't have to block them.
bigger block flexible handle multiple number variety
He's big. He's athletic. He's strong. He is very smart, so he can handle a lot of multiple responsibilities and he is flexible enough athletically to be able to do a number of things. He can block bigger people. He has a variety of skills.
against blocked good job last line notable offensive played
Our offensive line did a pretty good job last night. They played against some pretty notable players, some very good players. Yes, we had some trouble. I think they had some trouble, too. We blocked them and there were times where we couldn't get them blocked. Again, that was a pretty good group. I thought our offensive line played very competitively.
avoid ball biggest blocking blowing call certainly coming deliver guys line major nobody offensive pass problems pushed relative run saying screaming step
I don't think we had any major problems on the offensive line. We were all at the game. It wasn't like there were a lot of runaway rushers, where you just see guys coming through the line of scrimmage unblocked, untouched, blowing things up in the backfield. There were times when we got pushed back. There were times when we pushed them a little bit. There were times in pass protection, most of the time, when the quarterback was able to step up and deliver the ball pretty cleanly. In relative terms, it was OK. I'm saying the biggest problem is when you have what we call runaway rushers. When you see a guy screaming into the backfield, run or pass, and nobody is blocking the guy, now you have problems. You certainly want to avoid that.
bit fine good prepared
We were prepared to play him a little bit less, but he's in good condition. He was doing fine on the sideline.
fine last missed
We missed you earlier. We're going to fine you for that, take it out of your last check,
