A lot of posters down about KalebJ but when he ran or veered outside and there was room he looked fine. He had a couple of those runs in the first half. Jaz's long run was more of a slant off tackle with a pulling guard and a TEnd coming across the formation to kick out. I am watching a replay just to watch the hawk OLine and it is obvious what run blocking is working and what is barely or not working.

Look at a lot of the straight up the gut runs with no trapping or sneaky blocking. Many of those are the runs that got stuffed and a few where a block was whiffed or missed.

The first run of the 2nd half is a perfect example. Kaleb straight ahead with man on man blocking and 3 cyclones blew by the center and guards and hit him in the backfield. Either get rid of that play or find a way to trap or block it better. Defenses just have too many guys there.

For example, Jaz's TD run was a deep handoff with a pulling guard trapping at the hawk right guard tackle spot. That is what opened a nice crease and he blasted thru there.
