How good is our offense, really?

Briziel was one of the specific ones I was referring to. On one play in the GB game, Braziel starts to get into the passblocking stance, but the defensive tackle gave him such a two hand jolt it knocked him partway back into Schaub. If you are an Olineman you have to be strong enough on top to absorb blows like that and maintain balance.
