Welcome back inside the Ann Arbor Studios of the Big 1050 WTKA online at the Big 1050.com. We have gone behind enemy lines with Alej Zaniga. Now it's time for our OT with Alborges session. The remaining part of his Q&A with Sam from earlier in the week is right now. So let's get to OT with Alborges here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTK. This is kind of gets to my piggyback question.

0:22.6

We talked about what makes a running back a good outside zone runner.

0:27.4

And we went over that in detail.

0:29.7

I was going to ask you a similar question about the offensive line when Dr. Singh came through with this.

0:35.4

The O line is better suited for stretch.

0:37.4

They are not real road graders.

0:39.1

And pass pro is still the issue.

0:40.2

I agree.

0:40.7

Pass pro is still the issue they got to work on.

0:42.7

But is there a, do you buy that this line is, they're better suited to block stretch

0:49.5

than they are gap stuff, that their gap ability is at a certain level and their stretchability is at a

0:56.6

higher level? What do you make of that? Well, you could certainly make a case for that at this

1:01.3

point. I don't think there's any question. When you roll up, you know, during their 200 yards

1:07.1

on one running play, okay? And 16.5 an attempt, you could certainly make a case for that.

1:13.3

But I'm going to say this, conversely, that they still are beefy enough and have enough

1:22.2

experience when I say beefing a bet, stout enough up front to still be able to run those

1:26.7

dual plays because you got to, you can't lose that downhill mentality they could still run those power plays those gap schemes where you can get double teams come off the ball and and their backs are good at those too but i think what's been as much a factor in the success of this play is the line is the

1:47.7

running backs.

1:48.5

The running backs are very much would appear to be good one-cut runners where they're not

1:54.9

afraid to push that corner, attack that tight in, and come underneath the defense when they feel like

2:01.6

all the blocks are resisted enough where they've got to then attack the defense.

2:07.7

The backs just look like very good stretch runners.
