I don't know who Tyler Clutts is, but he's becoming an All-Pro right before our very own eyes. He's our new Moose Johnston. Dude was straight up destroying people yesterday.

He sure was! That lead block had bad intentions behind it this year.

I saw multiple times where we would line up in an I with a real FB, and Clutts would run through that line and just obliterate someone. I was like, who the?

I just rewatched that play 5x thanks to NFLN's NFL Replay. William swam past his engagement with Parnell but would not have been in position to make the play since he swam out and Demarco cut in. That said, it looks as though the pancake doesn't happen if Clutts doesn't redirect Williams. Bottom line, at no point did Parnell look off balance and Clutts only redirected. The "drive" was all Parnell. He was clearly driving Williams to oblivion. The Williams swim was a desperation move to try and stop the acute bleed aka Parnell.
This.

It's not about the pancake but the fact that the defender is being driven completely out of the play before Clutts makes contact.

He did have several good open-field blocks that Murray cut off of.
