Go back and look at the replay. To me, it was the most noticeable play of the game. Can't remember which quarter it was.

Did you read the last few posts? I was ask when was the last time I saw a physical line move the defense back. It was Monday night.
You seem to have very particular standards. You were one of the downers in the post-game thread and said you couldn't expound otherwise you'd get suspended from the site. I'm not really sure what more you want.
#76 got a great shot on # 5 at the end of that.@Moro and others, is this physical enough for you?
Maybe not as consistently as we'd all like to see, but I thought we were pretty physical on the line overall, especially in the run game.
i bet our o-line guys love running that play
Yeah, I`d say that pretty well qualifies. I`ll bet that got the room going during film review !@Moro and others, is this physical enough for you?

I don't want anything. I was just answering your question as best I could. Also, just because I agree with someone's opinion doesn't make me a downer.
Shank Taylor was the one guy that didn't annihilate his man on that play, but he blocked him perfectly well enough because the play was going the other way.
That. Is. AWESOME! (and exactly the kind of physical play I was talking about)@Moro and others, is this physical enough for you?

Physical is a mentality. It's a little tougher on zone plays, but it's that desire to punish the defender. It shows up later in the game, just like it did Saturday.
I would call what we did Saturday "not huddling." They weren't frantic, they just didn't huddle and stood next to the line of scrimmage to prevent substitutions. With Howard's versatility I imagine we will do it mostly with him because he blocks well and can split out wide the very next play. Not being able to substitute combined with physical line play will pay dividends as the year progresses.

Maybe this will answer your question.
Football 101: Why Power Running Works
While many think the term “power football” describes an attitude or perhaps even a formation, coaches actually use it to refer to something more technical: the Power-O and Counter Trey1 run plays, which most coaches simply call Power and Counter, and which are foundational running plays in the NFL and college football.
Power and Counter are so effective because their very designs are forged from aggression. They’re deliberate melees built on double-team blocks, kick-out blocks, lead blocks, and down blocks, and preferably finished off by a running back who drops his shoulder and levels a defender or two before going down. And as this GIF shows, they can be things of beauty:
