I put the following 5 on the line: Dunlap, Clarke, Hunt, Atkins, Johnson. Only Atkins and Dunlap are truly are rushing. Clarke, Hunt and Johnson get their hands up to try to bat the ball/block passing lanes while getting whatever push they can. Meanwhile the rest of the field is covered by Nelson, Iloka, Hall, Kirkpat, Quez, and Chris Lewis-Harris. Iloka fades back into a zone, all the other DBs man up.
Now tell me that wouldn't cut down on 3rd down conversions (or tell my I have no clue what I'm talking about, which is, uh, true...).
Edit: What does everyone think of us splitting tackles out to WR (to block presumably). I thought it was an interesting move from Hue -- sure there are less targets who are gonna get downfield fast and be able to catch, but the blocking should be great on the outside. It is a very interesting and creative formation.
have you been drinking??? j/k
