Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 5058702, member: 40"] Meh. When the game started, I was initially quite impressed by how the OL hold up and maintained a pocket, giving McCord time to throw. Then, they mentioned that Fran Brown had implemented a no sack / no big hit rule for the spring game. With no real, live pass rush, the DL is at a distinct disadvantage from the jump. To say nothing of how defenses use things like stunts, blitzes, etc. to bring pressure from unusual angles and throw the timing / rhythm of the OL off. Also keep in mind that in spring games, both sides of the ball tend to use base formations, and not show too much / open the playbook up with trickery. And if the OL can really hold up at the point of attack and open up holes [for the first time in forever] -- cool. We are going to have multiple transfers in the interior DL who are 300 pounders, and athletic. No need to worry. [/QUOTE]
