For YEARS I've heard Packers fans complain about zone blocking because the Packers OL hadn't been as good as it was under Sherman with run blocking.... but I kept trying to tell people it wasn't the scheme... it was the coaching and/or execution of said scheme...

But last night we FINALLY saw some GREAT ZONE BLOCKING where the linemen kept getting to the 2nd level and got to attack those LBers after getting the DL stopped first... which includes Starks long TD run.

Just felt like someone needs to point it out that it was zone blocking and they finally ran it amazingly. The scheme works very well if run correctly and no the smaller linemen thing is for the most part just a talking point as almost every team in the NFL runs some zone and some power plays... as some NFL current and former linemen have said you need to know both power and zone to play in the NFL now, because all teams use both just in different percent amounts. And to do zone correctly you need to be quick about some part of it... that doesn't mean you have to be small... just ask Raji and Howard Green... they're quick... and aren't that small... but I LOVE it... the OL pulled off some of the best zone blocking I've seen them do.

I won't break it down much until I watch the game again without a house full of company.. but the Kuhn TD was flat out an ass kicking.. one in which the rooted the DL out of the hole. No seal needed.. just boot their ass out.

I don't remember the Kuhn's TD play blocking at the top of my head but I'd guess to say that was probably power blocking.

Very cool.

Yes. Our OL was outstanding during this game. And not against a bunch of noobs, either! It was a lot of fun to watch them come together.

One of the interesting things is it usually takes them 8-10 games to get the zone blocking scheme down. Maybe it helps that they have been together for a while and working on their techniques for a while.
Must be the player organized practices that made the difference.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
