Poll: Pass Blocking Strategy

[Whatever]

I've very rarely, if ever, seen an offensive lineman step forward on a pass blocking rep (outside of aggressive play action roll outs maybe), at least not as far as I can remember.

I have no problem with a blocking strategy that creates a pocket via "retreating". Our big problem is the guys are not "catching" the defender after they retreat. They just let them whip past them.

You shouldn't see the OL firing out on a pass play.  If they move past the line of scrimmage before the ball comes out on a pass play, it's a penalty for illegal man downfield.
