So does elimination of the chop block significantly effect the Matsko scheme?

Question is for the coaches/technicians in this here forum (and I'm not either).

I've seen commentary in other NFL teams forums/newspapers as to the effect of the elimination of this block.  Personally, I'm glad they're doing away with it.

But how often has this kind of block been SCHEMATICALLY part of our run game?  If the answer to this question is "zero" or "very little", then I'm a happy camper.

It hurts West Coast Offenses like Denver way more than it hurts us.

Do you know which of our 2016 opponents this affects besides Denver? Just like the news of Justin Houston's ACL problem today might make him unavailable for our game against Kansas City if we play them early in the schedule, I'm always eyeing the news pertaining to our opponents this season.

It would be pretty shitty for any team to coach their line to dive at the knees of a defender already engaged with a blocker.

I know KC is WCO (Reid).Pretty sure the Raiders are too. San Diego was always Coryell but I think they changed to E-P last year.

Honestly, most if not all teams have made use of it to a certain extent, but the WCO schemes tend to be more suited.

That was back in 03.

If I remember correctly, Alex Gibbs was the Bucs line coach at the time. I think he coached for the Falcons at some point too.

Love Joe Gibbs but Alex was a POS. That guy's coaching cost more than one player their career.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
