Our line basically stands straight up on running plays and kinda just catches/gets in the way of the D. They're not the aggressor in other words.
Watch the two plays near the end of the first TD drive in the GB game, both Mixon runs. Bodine gets driven right into the lane Mixon is trying to hit. it's like he's just trying to be an obstacle, not really block ?
Perhaps Sunset or Royal or whomever can elaborate ?
That's the technique Alexander teaches. A lineman can either engage the defense or let the defense engage you. His technique lets the defense engage our guys.
