"A small detail that has been interesting to me for a couple of years now is the technique of our defensive ends at times. When the OT blocks down, the DE steps down with him. Pretty standard stuff, but our guys seem to allow the offensive blocker to get on their outside arm, which allows them to be “logged” (hooked), and results in them losing contain. I saw both Carl Lawson and Marlon Davidson do it in this game. On the positive side, I saw Derrick Brown execute the technique perfectly once when he was lined up at DE, and he made a big play."
You are spot on and as a former stand-up DE it is maddening. That constantly causes us to lose the edge.
