Did we switch to the zone blocking

[57stratdawg]

To offset OM's slant/stunt DL or was there more to the story?

wat?

We switched to zone blocking up front the day Mullen and Hevesy showed up...

Where have you been? I thought you especially would have known that as much as you praised Hevesy early in his tenure.

My bad. I thought the general complaint was that we had switched over since early in Mullen's tenure.

Why is everyone complaining about it all of a sudden?

Because 90% of football fans don't actually have a great understanding of the sport.

Because we don't have the talent on the OL we've had in Mullen's other years and people want to ***** about something. It's not the blocking scheme that's the problem, it's the lack of physicality.

 

[engie]

Zone blocking doesn't rely heavily on physicality though. It's turning seams and relying on rbs being able to see those seams...

People also thought the OL was the problem in 2013 as well when we were misusing personnel at qb and rb...

Except being physically dominant has nothing to do with zone blocking. If anything, zone blocking can mask dceiciencies and lesser talent.
