Summary
McGiven's quick-release philosophy helps O-line pass protection; run blocking more complex concern—effective run game essential to prevent defensive focus.
DanSorensen1 said... (original post) I agree with this to an extent. Morgan has said more than once this spring that the O line and D line are the units on this team that will bri... show more I think just as big of a positive impact on the o line productivity this year is the philosophy McGiven has of getting the ball out quickly. Add that to mobile QB's and the O-line will look good in pass protection because they don't have to hold blocks for 3+ seconds. I actually worry more about run blocking, which is actually more complex and difficult to coordinate than pass blocking, imo. Will we be able to run the ball effectively when the defense knows we are running the ball? Effectively running the ball is a requirement for offensive success so defenses can't focus on one dimension of the offense. 3rd and 3 is much easier than 3rd and 8.
