Grunhard on RPO and blocking by irishrock

Grunhard was talking about Chiefs and their OLine...that basically, they're truly running "run" plays without an RPO look and it's helping the OLine and the running game for the chiefs. "Hey, Chiefs have to realize they've got maulers up front and let 'em maul"

It made me think of ND's OLine...we've got maulers too, but the RPO system where the OLinemen can't go more than two yards downfield as they don't know if the play is a run or a pass holds our entire offense back...our OLine, our RB's, and our QB...when it is a straight up run, our guys can get a real strong push downfield and that opens up the run game.

I know football is a copycat sport, it'd be great to see Rees adopt this as it plays into our major strength...as opposed to seeing our RB's have to avoid 2-3 defenders three yards behind the LOS.
