I wonder if it drives coaches nuts as much as it does me: refusing to just block the guy in front of you if you are confused on assignment

You see it all the fucking time in college, very rarely in NFL. It used to drive me nuts just in HS. BLOCK THE GUY IN FRONT OF YOU. AT THAT POINT IT'S THE BEST AND ONLY THING YOU CAN DO. FORGET THE FUCKING PRE SNAP ASSIGNMENT.

Back to the board

- A bunch of it in yesterday’s Eagles-Titans tilt, but video has shown that Tennessee’s DL were hooking and holding the Eagles’ OL - By brick September 21, 2026 at 03:24:43 PM
- I think good execution is a lot more than just knowing to "block the guy." I was a wrestling coach. It wasn't enough for guys to memorize specific takedowns. They had to execute precisely and confidently without thinking. - By Bluebuck September 21, 2026 at 03:22:45 PM
