The battle at the line of scrimmage must be won before any offensive can advance. Show me an offensive line that is not winning the battle for the LOS and I will show you sacked quarterbacks and running backs caught in the backfield. When I am sure that my offensive linemen are controlling the line of scrimmage, I will be able to send them to zone block. Ideally, I want my linemen to push the immediate defensive linemen off or away from the LOS. After doing that, they will come off of that block and move to the next level picking up the linebackers and possibly safeties. If you haven’t done so already, watch the “Snap Analysis” video on my YouTube Channel. The link is below. If you want, we can discuss it.
