Message: [QUOTE="blizz, post: 2292210, member: 4252"] Even in the RPO situation, the oline have assignments and rules regarding who to block and where to redirect. Remember that zone blocking (in principle) is based on using the defenders declaration against them, essentially you're pushing them in the direction they are already going. They are trying to create running lanes and it shouldnt make much difference where those are, the back needs to be able to improvise on the fly and exploit small creases. I think Strick has done a good job of finding the interior creases, thats why he pretty consistently gains 2 or 3 yards on those dives. But he has not been able to beat a defender in the hole and break through to the second level or deal with the collapse of those running lanes. I think he gets a bad rap on here and people aren't appreciating how difficult it is to do what he's being asked in this system. [/QUOTE]
