They drill routes and techniques.
Random occurrences do happen like that. But you don't build your team on it and you don't ignore it because it's uncomfortable.
There's a huge difference between what I am talking about, replicating technique and form to be able to be a dependable blocker, and this weird strawman you are building.
Don't get me wrong, I understand your point. Og's technique is still poor. However, not every player has to be a technician to get the job done. Mike Wallace has always been an awful route runner, but he's still an effective WR. Og's performance against Tampa was ugly, from a technical standpoint, but he kept the QB upright and opened holes in the run game. He did what he was asked to do in the gameplan. If he can do that with poor technique, then he should be a solid LT if/when his technique improves.
