Are the Days of Zone-Blocking all but over ?

[cland]

Yep that was me nero THE zero (on both boards.) Again if you really wanted to destroy this team's offensive mojo, trying to play a Power Blocking system with Studdard, Myers, and White would surely have done it. Better talent in the middle=better results in the run game.

The other piece is that the ZBS has an effect on the passing game as well. Setting up your OL's in a zone wall, and picking up players if they are in the gaps is very similar to pass-blocking technique, and allows you to hide (if only for a moment) whether the starting steps of the OLmen mean they are in pass-protection of run-blocking. The amazing thing about this season is that despite our inability to run, we gave up a small number of sacks, and led the league in passing.


On a side note:

I really wish there was a Free Agency for beat reporters. We might have to sweeten the deal by adding Anna Megan, or maybe Bob can cover part of his salary but we've got to get Richard 'the media cancer' Justice off the roster.

I mean read this article. It's like an angry 12 year old wrote it. Allow me to translate:

Gibbs didn't like to talk to me, so he's clearly bad at his job. If we increase our ranking from #30 rushing in the league, that seals it. Gibbs runs a bad system. Of course Rick Dennison is the Man!!! (buttering him up so he'll talk to me.) He's going to bring in this crazy new system and really fix things (I clearly don't understand that Rick coaches the exact same style as Gibbs.) Also the Texans should have made the playoffs (disagree with that you silly readers, clearly ending on this point makes all my nonsense accurate.)
