You almost need RB's as opposed to receivers

But it's not like you are thinking. There is 10 guys across...nobody running out of control to where the return man can just fake them.  It's the return man basically running into a crowd.

A man for a man to block. I’m expecting guys to break free kind of like on those short yardage plays. Either he’s consumed with every lane being filled…or…he finds a crease…he’s gone.

I mean do we put Bark back there to receive kick offs??? No high speed collisions but power to break initial tackles

Part of the blocking strategy is just a bump or shield to let the coverage run bye... now they aren't running.    So it's going to be easy to go track the ball carrier....they are just engaging with the blocker in front of them.  Nobody will be way out of position or be fooled on a hesitation move. 

I think the real question is do we see more linemen on this play now.  I mean, I need to create a hole and plug it with power,  not speed. 

Yes…and you aren’t worried about inside kick needing guys with capable hands

Yeah...but this will be a easier for the other guys to follow right from the start where the return man is going.

It's great if the one guy makes his block...the other 9 are going to be able to follow the ball better now.

Would have thought Boston Scott would have been our best weapon for this. But he’s not here anymore.

It's going to be like kids soccer...all crowding the ball.

Barkley probably would be ideal...same with Henry.   But I'm saying here... you are only fighting for a few extra yards.

Unless you bull your way and break tackles

Punch a hole in the line and let the guy behind you run through it. Almost like a lead blocking running play

So hangtime is no longer important? Maybe they form new styles of kicks.

I'm running through the L gap HAHAHA

What about double team blocking and trying to get together forming wedges to open up the return?

I guess not since then you'd have 21 guys all collected at the 15

Well nobody can move until the kick is caught anyway

Look at this... all 10 cover guys are watching the return man and know exactly where the ball is.  He actually finds a hole to the bottom here...but look how that 2nd layer of 5 guys are right there incase he broke past layer one.  

The old way always had guys flying past...they were contain in a certain gap... if you broke through a gap...that could be it..because half the team or more were running full speed and took themselves out of the play.   

Not here...if you run at me..I'll go attack...you run away, I'll go layer behind my guys.  But I'm always in the play.

Which if your back is to the returner how do you know when you’re able to move? You can only go off the kicking team moving..so then you move? I don’t really know much on this.
