    I picked this one as example, this is pretty good pass pro by McGary here.

    Example of bad awareness by the LT here. No chance that Daniels has the ability to get in front of this block. Slow down that rusher and Browning has a chance to roll out and then when the initial throw isn't there to be able to take a second or two to scan down the field before having to airmail it out of bounds.

    Also look at #2 for Boise on the bottom of the screen ... the Boise defense didn't overpursue to the ball creating opportunities on the backside on these kinds of plays.

    Disagree, that's on Daniels. It's slide protection, the LT has to look play side first.

    Don't see how you can expect Daniels to make that block given that the defender is lined up on the play side of him and since there is no action on the play getting him to respect the movement to his side the only way Daniels gets that block is by holding. Moreover, there's no direct threat to the LT on the play as the DT on that side is lined up more between the guard/center (and blocked mainly by the center) leaving the LT with really no assignment to worry about on the ball side of the play.

    Perhaps, maybe the LT was supposed to kick out backside. But you look at all the line on this play, they all step & look playside. Daniels doesn't even slow the guy down enough for the LT to come back on him.

    ...and Matt James watches from his back. 3 man rush destroys 5 blockers. It must be a young QB and bad playcalling.

    I get the line slide ...

    But this is where to me you see the difference between guys that know the playbook and do what they are told versus guys that know the playbook but also understand the game. The high level plays that you are looking for are the guys that execute what they are supposed to but are able to evaluate and adjust on the fly when things aren't going EXACTLY right. This is a great play example for me.

    The only way that I could see Daniels even having a chance to block the end on that play would be to chop him down ... but doing so would risk a clip. The positioning of the end on the play would make it almost impossible to me to have Daniels make the block.

    I'd be very interested in an OL expert's take on this play.

    This is absolutely terrible by Mickens.

    Lenius has a solid block set up that allows Mickens to quickly dip to the inside of him with a nice kickout block where Mickens can then angle back to the sideline with a 5-7 yard gain before the defensive pursuit arrives and he can get out of bounds.

    Instead, he's 100% focused on getting out of bounds and not only runs Lenius into a hold, but also costs himself yards in the process. This is exactly the kind of example that I would point out as someone that has heard the coaches talk about situational football and getting out of bounds without understanding the context behind it.

    This is also a favorable situation for the offense with a 2 on 1 situation. Not sure if this was a planned call or a sight adjustment from Browning ... but this play should have been a low risk 5-7 yard gain.

    Worst play by the OL of the game in the most inopportune spot. Browning is basically under the gun as soon as he hits his back foot with no clear sight lines to be able to airmail a pass incomplete and out of bounds.

    The most telling thing to me on the play was that ALL 3 Boise rushers beat their respective blocks and you had OL walking themselves back watching the QB pick himself up. If there was ever a time for a collective group takedown of pass rushers, that was the spot.
