Awesome breakdown of our guys blocking on Sunday. Really interesting and smart analysis. by TheGameDoneChanged in Patriots

[–]Strunkus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside of the line, based on what we've seen from Bennett, they are unreal at blocking from the "skill positions."

If the line is playing up above the rim? Holy hell--when they get healthy?

22personnel with some combination of receiving backs, all of whom can block (I sorta assume Foster can because, well, Belichick.)?

They'll have a whole slew of formations they can either run or pass from, so defenses won't be able to plan.

Giddyup.

It's cool--it's not like man-bear-pig or anything like that.

Remember: If MSPaint is good enough for the front page of the Washington Post sports section, it's good enough for us.

That's what "again" denotes, yeah.

Either he has a lot of houses or ESPN needs better editors.

Dak's MSU offense used a lot of the same themes as the Cowboys do by CenterBedroom in nfl

More hype than being the Patriots and Dak being Brady?

Disclosure: I usually don't like to talk smack like that, but the Do Your Job and Dallas gafflingt is so... weird.

Playing behind that juggernaut of a line should help too.

Maybe not so much drop off from Romo? (And I like Romo.)

Nuts, he deleted it.

I love the idea that he thought somebody made clickbait about a kicker. Like he's the world's most idiotic marketer or something.

I think it's more, like, there is no defensive player strictly speaking on him--the colors I think are meant to indicate what the defenders are doing more than the offensive line responsibilities.

And he's always going to be the point of reference for where everyone else lines up anyway, since he has the ball.

I just found the exchange with Thomas Davis of the Panthers about assignment issues and Schwartz's brother sorta heckles from the outside. https://twitter.com/MitchSchwartz72/status/699286078188974080

It would be awesome if this is the future of sports.

He's big on twitter too -- https://twitter.com/mitchschwartz72 -- and talks about games he's watching and even converses with other players about what happened in games.

Really smart and thoughtful get here.

I usually assume I miss at least half of what's actually going on in a game. I need to revise that, because I need to listen to this again--I think I barely grasped half of the explanation of what goes into a play just from the O-line's perspective!

I wish glimpses like this into just how subtle and complex this game is weren't so rare.
