Can you be more specific?

sorry been away from the computer, I would say the following were lacking coming from youth ball

1. Blocking footwork was bad, stepping in the bucket, bad hand positioning, combo blocking non existent.
2. Tackling was not fundamentally sound. With new emphasis on concussions I would expect this is improved.
3. Over reliance on the "stud" or fast back who could just run sweeps to the house.

All these could be corrected with good coaching but how many O-Line coaches are drilling footwork and hand positioning?
