It first starts with changing a persons thinking, then the body parts have to catch up. Thought process, reaction, execution. All within a millisecond.
I thought the same thing and really dont have an idea about any of it lol. When we first hired Pollack, I was just thinking a more hard-nosed coach will help light a fire and more discipline, etc. But that article where Icky Woods mentioned the difference between OL's going out to hit someone vs "catching" ...which I had never really thought about or knew of until then. Thats what really got me thinking about what could really end up being a big difference because it sounds like a different philosophy of blocking. Its the most intriguing thing in camp this year to me for sure
