The otas/minicamps are more passing game then run game. Getting everyone lined up etc.
The OL/DL battles are more about techniques and such as far as footwork and hand placement. If on a pass protection an OT gets back to the proper depth and keeps his proper balence and wins the battle with his hands he has the upper edge. If the DE/OLB beats the OT with speed or a rip/swim move he has one the battle since the OL will either have to hold or let him by.
In this case with no pads I think the edge goes more to the aggressor or the DL. So i imagine in some cases the DL may not go full bore so they can get work in to the skilled position guys on both sides of the ball in the passing game.

Good post. I think what I take out of it is that it is June and hard to tell. When people get pads on they change. Some go harder, some suck. I'd think that an O-Lineman without pads ought to be able to stay in front of a D-Lineman unless he is a superspeed guy.
It's just hard to tell.
