So they can pull him either direction. Think about the old counter trey. He can move and hit. I know the common thinking is LT is the best lineman,, but this guy can influence both passing and running. He may not need help pass blocking, and he can move like a freight train in any direction.

Think of Larry Allen. He would come to the line and go, Whoooo, Whooo, telling the D the train was running right through his gap and it didn't matter.

It was an example, not a replacement.

If he's the only one doing it, I hope the coaches are calling out everyone else to step up and follow suit. It's a little thing that could play huge dividends, and it's the type of thing winning teams do.

This isn't Pagano. So yes, the coaches are calling out players who don't hustle as much as the next player.

Wait a minute, when did coaching become important to you?

Probably because they aren’t coached to look. He is blocking a zone and leaves it. Beautifully I might add

what I love most about that clip, outside of the awareness he shows, is that the defensive player had a running start, whereas Nelson only had a chance to take 3 steps in his direction, but the defender is the one gets flattened. Its just what everyone is saying, he moves people, no one moves him.

Meh that isn’t that impressive.

He is both an immovable object and an unstoppable force.

What the fuck are you talking about that it wasn't that impressive? When is the last time you saw an offensive lineman on the Colts do that kind of shit?
