[QUOTE="skyIdub, post: 1958920, member: 230966"] I don't want this to sound like I know what I'm talking about too much, but my limited convo's with former linemen and coaches tells me the OL's love run blocking. It allows them to get into the game and get into a rhythm, which allows the RB and running game to get into a rhythm. So I think your statement rings especially true. All of the pass blocking they were forced into early on never allowed that rhythm or consistency to develop IMO. This was my biggest complaint with BL and the play calling. Too much pressure on the OL, and subsequently too much pressure on Luke. Feagin is the kind of UW RB that we remember from BB's teams there. It's not as flashy, but man I love watching that kind of football. Everyone on the field knew what you were going to do.....didn't matter. 5 yards. Repeat. [/QUOTE]
