You have to practice your OFFFENSIVE LINEMEN different for a passing game. They are REALLY important to the entire team in that they are the ones that buy the QB time to be able to get off good passes. I don't know how much time they have applied to that type of game plan. On plays where the offense is passing the ball, the offensive linemen's job is:
form an area for the quarterback to throw from (they have to set the pocket)!
Keep the defender from reaching the quarterback (pass protect)
The center (CN) has the additional important responsibility of handing the ball to the quarterback to start every play (making the snap) and helping to defend too. Without them performing well in a game situation, the rest of the offense cannot function properly. They are the ones who must win the individual battles on each offensive play and I don't know if they have practiced that type of protection for a passing game or not? They have probably practiced it a little but it would take a major effort unless they have been doing it all along and just not applied it?! IDK??

I do agree that come playoff time you have to change what you have been doing all season up some because other teams have scouted you enough and watched you enough by then to know what you are going to do if you don't do something different.

So during the most important time of the year, you completely what you've been doing to make you successful? Someone let Haywood know at Belfry that they better go away from the belly stuff.
