The athleticism is amazing. I haven't been this high on a player since Andrew Luck.

So they can pull him either direction. Think about the old counter trey. He can move and hit. I know the common thinking is LT is the best lineman,, but this guy can influence both passing and running. He may not need help pass blocking, and he can move like a freight train in any direction.

Think of Larry Allen. He would come to the line and go, Whoooo, Whooo, telling the D the train was running right through his gap and it didn't matter.

It was an example, not a replacement.

What the fuck are you talking about that it wasn't that impressive? When is the last time you saw an offensive lineman on the Colts do that kind of shit?

He has at least a 100 pounds on the dude. He lowers the shoulder on the kid and he is going down.

It was a great play but most guards would flatten that dude there
