OT Elijah Pritchett -> Nebraska

Akees said:
He is a REALLY good run blocker. Sometimes the numbers don't always tell the story. Milroe wasn't a get the ball and get it out quick type of QB. He held onto the ball a lot. He scrambled a lot. That can make life hell for a tackle. Especially if the QB is rolling out and constantly on the move. I think Dana and Dylan's style will help him a lot. That and hopefully some improved technique in pass pro.

Quoted for truth.

I am just seeing this but I mentioned very similar in the Huskers Transfer portal in/out thread.  Listen to the bama experts about pass protection being a QB-Milroe problem that made it difficult for the lineman.  And another reason why they wanted Milroe gone.  Dylan is a pocket guy.  And steps into the pocket.  Milroe is happy feet guy and runs around his OT's like a first time QB would.  So pass pro ineffectiveness and stats should not be placed ALL on their line.  To me this is a great get of need.

That's certainly one way to view that play...... the lineman was lined up to his inside. At no point in that play was he beat. He then drove him down the line about five yards.

IZ, play is designed to be pressed into the left B gap (hole opens).  Pritchett has a reach block, head position tells you he didn't get it, & you can see where Pritchett's man is if the back had banged this into the B gap.  This is why zone scheme's are popular, even when you lose, you can win.  Pritchett and the H-back both stay connected, but each failed to win inside.  

 
Some more background on his struggles is he had worked exclusively at LT until after the first game then switched to RT.  Not as easy of a switch as it may seem.

Proctor was obviously going to be the LT for them as he was all of the year before. He was hurt and didn't play week one which makes sense why EP played LT only that game.
