Analyzing Solid Buccaneers’ Offensive Line Play

This time, Rodgers is the single back behind Winston. This time, the run is off of the left side. It takes some athletic work by two Bucs’ linemen, Ali Marpet and Joe Hawley. The two in the blue circles are Kuechly (59) and A.J. Klein (56).

Marpet and Hawley are going to pull, or come out of their positions to lead Rodgers into the hole. Hawley takes on Klein, and Marpet takes on Kuechly who appears to have the play sniffed out.

Let’s see.

Here is excellent work. The right side of the line has created a seal the size of a wall. The Panthers on that side are all on the ground with no possibility to impact the play. Hawley has done a terrific job removing Kuechly from the play, and Klein has no chance, thanks to Hawley.

Take a look now. The size of that hole is probably big enough to fit an 18-wheeler. Look at Rodgers fly through the hole with the greatest of ease.

This time, Rodgers isn’t even touched until he gets 11 yards down the field. Yes, there was great speed out of Rodgers. But the offensive line was excellent here.
