Sample and Dissly sealing the edge with Harris or some other fucking guard pulling. Gaskin shakes one guy for a 10-15 yard gain. Those runs were beautiful.
Sample and Dissly are the most under appreciated players on the team. Dissly is the third best tackle on the roster. Moving him to TE was a great move. He has one catch all year yet I'm excited to see him on the field.

Gaskin's spin was filthy and came effortlessly to him. That stuff can't be coached.
When Coleman comes in the power comes and the DB's don't want to tackle a guy that big.
It gives me doog boners
Was it because Utah was stout up front with Star L's little bro? I don't think they stopped a power or outside zone more than once or twice all game. Every other one went from 7-20 yards.
As Pepsi mentioned, it's something that we've talked about here and there on the TSIO podcast all season and definitely touched on a bit in the last 2 weeks for sure. Piggy backing on what others said, the other thing that really makes that personnel grouping so strong for us is that we're able to effectively block those runs in different ways making it difficult to key on any one particular OL in terms of figuring out where to go and where the hole is to plug. Sometimes you get Daniels pulling around as the lead blocker ... other times you'll get an OL pulling out and looking to bury somebody.
During the 3 open practices this fall, Pepsi and I watched 2 of them together (we both were at all 3) ... the thing that stood out consistently to both of us at the time was how effective the 2 TE formation was for us as at the time it was the only formation that we were able to effectively run the ball against the defense by getting to the outside and outflanking them ... what we've learned now through 8 games is that offensively we're really good at that and defensively that's arguably the area that we have our biggest opportunity for teams to sustain drives by attacking.
It seemed like a run play a majority of the time when Utah kept 7 in the box in the first half. I stopped keeping track in the second half for 2 reasons. First, I was drinking a lot. Second, I was nervous as hell which a large part of why I was drinking a lot.
