Thoughts On Last Night's Super Bowl
A couple of thoughts on last night's Super Bowl.
One of the commentators on ESPN asked where the Steelers rush was. It was on the other side of the Packers OLine. Other than a few times the Steelers got to Rogers, the Packers OLine did a great job. I especially want to single out Bryan Bulaga, the rookie out of Iowa. Beyond a couple of plays early in the first quarter, LaMarr Woodley was invisible. When Wood did get pressure, Bulaga wasn't blocking him. I coached against Woodley when he was in high school. I couldn't figure out how to get him blocked. I watched when he was playing for Michigan, and no one figured how to block him. Bryan Bulaga did. Congrats young man.
The Steeler running game was almost unstoppable when they were running the Power O. But because that play requires a lead blocker, either a FB or the TE blocking the EMOL (end man on line), when the Steelers wanted to go 4 wide, they took their best running play off of the table.
