Notice how Dre is standing in the exact same place in both clips you posted? That is because he gave up and watched instead of continuing to block.
False.
Again failing to understand the basic concepts of pass protection.
He's should NOT go out seeking to make contact with a player like Dupree. He's square to the defender. His hands are ready for an upward strike and his weight on the inside foot.
That's text book. Dupree is NOT GETTING INTO THAT POCKET. That's Smith's job.
He doesn't move because he doesn't need to. Being overly aggressive vs a rusher like Dupree is how you get out of position and get your QB walloped. Dupree ran himself out of the play. Dre shadowed him there. Andy started to move. Dupree reacts first by moving AWAY from Dre.
Dupree runs away from the pocket. Smith has no chance catching Dupree. None.
That's just Dupree's athleticism winning out.
