It was a little of both, but thank you for being able to describe it better then I could.

I didn't really know how to word the way they "block" which as you hit it perfectly, is just holding with your hands in close. You can see it every time we play them as a guy tries to get away yet somehow seems glued to an offensive lineman he is running away from. Not sure why we aren't telling our guys to do the same thing.
