That's very true. You never see PT getting the same play that Ivory/Ingram gets.
Payton's schemes have never been one size fits all.
I used to wonder why PT screens looked so good and Reggie's were the ugly bubble thing.
He just answered my long standing question about why running was so ineffective at times.
They would never get in a groove.
They would never establish control of the line of scrimmage.
Pass blocking is defensive. They are on their heels trying to keep defenders at bay.
Run blocking puts you on your toes with the defender on his heels.
That's got to be the preferred posture and mind set for an O-lineman.
It's very difficult to flip that switch when you've been on your heels for most of the day.
Nick's was just talking because he was asked.
It wasn't politically correct to say "The Money". You guys know that. Give him a break.
He's got to start jell'in with a whole new crew..."What's up fellas! I'm just here for the money". C'mon.
Good luck CNicks. I hope it all works out for you...
Except against the Black&Gold.
