Lots of announcers talk about the weakness of the line is the small speedy guys. Is that a shape problem or just a weakness to big linemen.
I don't know. I blamed some of it on Flozell not being able to use his left arm well. And I think that was some of it.
I agree that Flo has had problems with quick guys. Everyone has problems with Ware and most of it is his quickness. I don't really think its because we're too big and strong and not quick enough.
The way to handle those guys is to get out of your stance fast enough to get between them and his QB. Then just push them down the field using their own momentum. I don't see it as a too big. But if you leave heart out of it, then it's just technique, quick enough feet and balance. And being in good enough shape to do it all game long all season long. I wonder if they haven't gotten a little slower since Parcells has left.
The other two problems are handling stunts and twists. The Cowboys admitted that was a problem.
And the last is getting help for them and calling the right plays when they line up so far outside the LT really has a problem getting to them. And that has happened. Garrett must help them if needed. And call the plays to slow them down. Johnson needs to audible correctly and the WRs have got to give him a chance to get the ball out quickly on hot reads.
