Then the ref would call trippingThere were times after watching a guy run right by the O lineman on a stunt with no more resistence than an outstretched elbow, that I wondered whether the O Line would be more effective just falling on the ground at the snap and making the DL jump over them on the way to the quarterback. The pash rusher could at least maybe trip or twist an ankle or something.
