Watch at the 11:52 mark of the 1st Quarter. Nelson is pass blocking and Gaia comes over and blocks him off the defender he was blocking. Ugh!!!!

Yes, I did read it previously. Was there something in there you wanted me to review or were you just sharing?

There was also an article on this on 247. It appears as though the OL is actually taught to run through their own guy to continue their blocking assignment. Can't find the article since it was a few months ago. As Nelson said it's not as bad as it seems because if they don't do it, 2 guys miss their blocks.

Re: did you happen to catch this article
The play last year was a running play in which the OL was trying to push forward. The instance I'm talking about was on a passing play in which Gaia wasn't blocking anyone, saw Nelson locked up to his right and went over and blocked Nelson off his guy. These were two very different situations. Gaia should have gone over for support but broken down to help plug the hole in case Nelson got beat. Instead he drove through Nelson. I've played enough football to know that was not by design.
