Some football truths we hold to be self-evident. Like this one: Offensive lines are the broad shoulders to success. The coal miners and meat packers who determine victory or defeat while the pretty boys receive the cheers.
Only one problem. It’s not so evident anymore.

...

It’s not the linemen who have changed. It’s the game. Spread formations. Quick passes. Quarterbacks who wouldn’t know a pocket if you sewed one on their forehead.

...

You still gotta get hats on hats, no matter what the scheme is

And we didn't do that in '09 nor open many lanes.

Football evolves.

 

[BGIF]

Football evolves.

It does but whether it's the Single Wing, T-Formation, Triple Option, Veer, West Coast, Pro Set, Spread, or whatever ...

You still gotta get hats on hats, no matter what the scheme is

Even if Flag Football you get a body in front of somebody else's.

Screw it... let's just let the A-11 go crazy.
