Dion Dawkins technique

Ya, widest split according to ESPN of any LT, approximately 2 yards. 

 

Dion has evolved into to 1 of the best if not the best LT in the game, his contract is amazing 

 

They must not be counting the 2-3 yards the Chiefs LT gets by starting a few seconds before the snap every passing down.

Aside from the LAME and probably incorrect call on Allen's scrambling shove-pass to Kincaid last week (Dawkins called for illegal formation innit?), I've noticed his splits often being unusually wide and moreover his alignment being unusually tight to the LOS, like tighter to the line than the LG a number of times. That's a weird look, traditionally. 

 

But then I think of Kromer's novel gameplan for Jordan Mills (at RT) against JJ Watt way back when: Mills consistently lined up tight to the line and then stepped UP to engage Watt on majority of pass pro snaps. And it worked. I forget the specific game. But I remember the unusual and ballsy gameplan that helped a mediocre but aggressive RT mostly neutralize one of the game's most disruptive D-linemen at the time.

Seems that way, but weren't the officials supposed to be coming down on that this year?

 

They will call it once or twice a game on the most egregious offenders <COUGH> taylor <COUGH> but you can get away with it a ton.

They called a hold on Edwards when Josh stepped through the B gap.

Hmm really thought that was the Dawkins formation call (but not surprised I'm wrong). We were pretty rowdy as we watched last week in my buddy's basement bar. Have to maximize my away game viewing fun before it's back to OP.
