Agreed. The defensive players deserve some protection, too, IMO.

A bit of trivia here...as you stated, if you watch films of Houston they make heavy use of the cut block in games. However, in practice they do not allow it. That should tell you something right there.

Haha, sorry. I do feel however that we'll be running more like what the patriots do, where they do split it up a fair bit running, some man, and some zone.

Thats exactly what dalessaris runs. A hybird blocking scheme. Mixing the power man with zbs.
I like it because the fefense cant get to comfortable with your line calls
