of scrimmage? Until they beat us downfield we should be up on their ***..........Not giving them a damn 5-10 yard cushion........

short, medium, long...the pass play doesn't matter because the first two guys are going to miss.

. . . only with less talented DBs and slower LBs.

Probably because if we start playing them off the line then they'll throw it downfield on us.

It's kinda like playing GT, they are going to get yards and points we just have to hope we can slow them down a bit.

The FG block certainly helped.
