What difference a year makes !!!

[Joelist]

Even with the fact that the OL rebuild is not done yet the difference is remarkable and indeed goes back to Lazor’s fight with Piano Man last season to change the blocking scheme to directional and let the linemen attack the defense. Offensive Linemen naturally feed off being allowed to take the fight to the defense and it sharpens their play.

Fast forward to this season, and Pollack and Lazor still have them attacking the defense, which has the side effect of countering bull rushes better too.
