Also, if anyone wants an example of why we should never have Jake Cotton pull, watch that 1st down run play right before the TD. Watch how Cotton cheats before the snap in how he lines up off the LOS. You can notice it in how far his hind parts are out compared to the rest of the lineman. It's easily recognizable to see how he cheats in his alignment, and it's easy to know he's gonna pull on that play when he lines up like that.

That's disappointing. Think it's coached that way?
Sorry I have to disagree. Yes it is coached that way at a Lot of schools all levels. You'll also notice narrow or wide splits sometimes depending on what block they're trying to execute. If anyone wants an example of why someone that doesn't understand blocking schemes and fundamentals shouldn't post about it....

Why should he not post about his observations so we can discuss them?
Posting observation and asking OK. But stating a reason a player shouldn't be used to execute a play because of lack of knowledge, no. He stated it as an example as it was fact when in fact it was uninformed

if he does this every time it gives the play away. When I played teams that did things like this were super predictable. Just slant into the guy showing is pull or even plug the backer and free shot to the rb
