Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 3621679, member: 405"] Well, they won't get good at those plays if they don't practice them. It take lots of repetition. So Dino spends all this time teaching the skills position players a series of quick live reads that form the basis for most of our "play-frameworks". (I hesitate to call them plays ...) But if the line doesn't know how to block, none of the rest of it matters. You can't throw the ball down the field if the line can't hold a block for 3 or 4 seconds. You can't pick up a first down in short yardage if you don't teach those intricate bits of line play because they're too hard to teach, or take too much time away from the other things you think you want to do. You can't do any of those "throw the ball around the field" plays if your line play is crap. [/QUOTE]
