I know a lot has been said about the O line in the past few weeks. The sentiment has varied between they did a good job, then they didn't do such a good job, etc., etc. But I was just wondering. Did they run consistently wider splits last season? I'm probably just seeing things, but it seems to me the splits are tighter this year. If that's the case wouldn't it make it more difficult for the running backs to 'hit the hole' or limit the close-in maneuverability of the linemen to make and pick up blocks? I'm not a FB coach and never have been, but hoping to get some feedback from those more learned on the intricacies of O line play.
