I haven't seen him mention it. Though I sort of assumed that would be the case since they had their "true spring game" on Wednesday and why the heck blow out a knee for spring games, right?

The other thing that made me wonder is on the first sack that E Johnson had, the most obvious move by the OT would have been a cutblock to defeat the stunt move, but he made no attempt. I guess I'm just hoping our OT knew that. Then again, maybe I'm wrong and it would have been a poor time for a cut block.

But I think I saw a few plays where the lineman cut blocked. I'd have to go back and rewatch though.

Last year, they weren't. Last year, they had to yell, "Cut!" and the defender with whom they were engaged was supposed to stop pursuit. Which caused some really inflated sack numbers because the defenders never stopped.

Let me start by saying that I know absolutely nothing about technique for an offensive line, but for the last couple of years, it seems like our offensive line has been diving at the feet of defenders. I am assuming they were executing cut blocks, but more often than not, it seemed as if the result of the block was our lineman on the ground being side-stepped by a D-lineman on his way to the QB.

In looking at some of the pictures that WLO took of the BG game (http://wloneill.smugmug.com), it seemed that the line was pretty much vertical most of the time, engaging the defensive line. This feels like a good sign to me.

Are there any experts on O-line play out there that can set me straight on what is going on (if anything)?
