    My guess would be repping our bread and butter when we are up 4 scores. What good does it do us to run up the middle for 15 ypc when we know we will win? No one learns or reps anything useful.

    It's more about the blocking or lineman, not so much about the running back. Also, your wide outs practice or learning to block. Hell, practicing routes is easy, but being aggressive blocking is a whole different thing. We are soft in the OLine, mainly because of the system, passing game, it's just who we are and I'm fine with this as long as we win.

He wants the OTs to force them outside and he thinks that gives Will enough time to process the field and get the ball out before they get home. Ideally, he would step up in the pocket, but our 3 interior linemen usually struggle to block the NT, or heaven forbid the stunting LB too. If it was legal, I think Leach would just get rid of the OL altogether and put 9 WRs, 1RB, and a QB on the field.
    Although it didn?t happen in the first year, 5 should be able to block 3. If not, we are screwed. I don?t think LSU got pressure with just 3. They overloaded us a fair amount and got pressure. This is when Will and our receivers must do better. Will has to check to the right play and get the ball out quicker. The receivers must make the catch and get quick separation.
