AZ54 Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Interesting article from the Sun Times. http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/three-w...se-is-changing/ Some things to watch for when we get to training camp. Clearly the sudden and decisive departure of Slauson may be part of a bigger puzzle with regards to what our Oline will be asked to do this year.

Yes I agree....that means they want the Oline to block someone down field to get our backs more yards than the 4.0 yards per carry average we have been getting.

jason Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 What I like: Zone blocking What I am uncertain about: Whether or not it accentuates Long's skills as a mauler Zone blocking requires a lot of side-stepping, double-teaming, and bouncing to the 2nd level for OGs. He has the mobility for it all, but I think he's best when he's told to simply man-block and destroy the guy in front of him. We shall see. Interesting season ahead of us.

Didn't the Bears run a ZBS in the Trestman/Kromer era? I seem to recall Long getting out and to the 2nd level quite a bit and doing it quite well.

BearFan PHX Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Long has tremendous athleticism, so he is made for a ZBS. Getting Whitehair instead of Slauson might well increase Long's productivity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 This guy did a great job breaking down what the Bears are looking for Whitehair to do as far as run blocking and blocks at the 2nd level. http://bearswire.usatoday.com/2016/05/16/b...r-run-blocking/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
