That falls on the Center and the QB. Which is the main reason I was all for Burrow staying in and taking that beating so he can see those blitz packages.

Blocking scheme is also about HOW the line engages the defense. We have seen this before - the team for some inexplicable reason love these passive zone read schemes which are complex and place a huge premium on both lateral agility and excellent communications and awareness. Our line obviously is not able to execute it so ditch it and use old fashioned drive blocking - it's simpler and they are more likely to do it somewhat correctly.
