Make Yosh Nijman a good offer or not?

While that is true, it is much harder to have the actual strength to move people backwards with run blocking (which is a weakness for Cross). Cross was never going to be a dominant run blocker because if he put on the mass to have better strength, it would take away his good lateral speed to slow down speed edge rushers. For Icky vs. Cross, it came down to do you want a mauler OT or a agile pass protector OT. We chose the mauler because we were (and mostly still are) a power run offense.

At the end of the day, Icky is a top tier run blocking tackle in the NFL while being an average pass protector. I think a big reason why our run game mostly went to crap the back half of the season is because we stopped running the ball to the left side for some reason (that combined with teams stacking the box). Just blew my mind that it seemed like 2/3 of our run plays were off guard run plays to the right behind freaking Corbett... Like the dumbest designed running lane to choose with all the other people we have on our oline.

We were best running right when Christensen was starring. Those were the Dowdle super games

No doubt we were running better without Corbett out there. Crazy thing is we still ran better with Curhen out there than Corbett.

I would love to see a graphic of what % of our run plays were right of the center and inside of the right tackle - it felt like 60% of our run plays the back half of the season were either right of the center or right of the guard, which made no sense when Icky and Lewis are probably our best 2 run blocking offensive linemen
