It probably is very interesting but you have to subscribe to the insider to read the whole article. Maybe you could paraphrase the article and post the best parts for us.

If an offensive lineman's block is crucial to the result of the play, I note it as such. The types of blocks at the point of attack can vary depending on the type of running play. For instance, a point-of-attack block could be a drive block in the hole on a counter play. It could also be an angle block that the back cuts behind on a slant play.

Here are the numbers for the Dolphins' starting offensive linemen:



Position Lineman Blocks Yards Average
LT McIntosh 28 89 3.2
LG James 54 295 5.5
C McKinney 45 279 6.2
RG Hadnot 42 211 5.0
RT Carey 29 104 3.6
Run type Attempts Yards Average
Counter 38 205 5.4
Draw 21 82 3.9
Dive 26 73 2.8
Isolation 12 117 9.8
Off tackle 14 49 3.5
Slant 37 125 3.4
Sweep 11 -2 -0.2

Let's do more sweeps and reverses. Esp when we're nearly in FG range. :shakeno:
