Looking at some footage of their blocking, they both seem to be agile and quick enough to get out wide and down field. Just because they haven't played in a Wide Zone scheme doesn't mean that they won't transition well to it. I will say that Karras becoming the player that he is, is likely a benefit from the coaching and development he received with the Patriots. His draft profile looked pretty grim.
The wide zone fit us well with the guys we had. There are no individual assignments, simply block the first guy that crosses your face and allows the RB to move with the flow looking for a breakdown in containment.
I am all for us utilizing some old school in-line power plays especially to the right side this year. I also predict more double-slide as we have guys now that can sustain a block.
