You’ve got to be able to move and get into your stance, and the left leg is going to be moving more as you angle to cut off the arc of the pass rush. It’s going to come down quick and be ready quick to take initial impact.
I think you will find that some coaches or technique guys teach think the right leg is more important, and others that the left, but again, all will say both are important.
For an offense that wants its OTs to bail into vertical sets, having a compromised outer leg could make it tough to take the set and get your anchor and balance before impact.

Makes perfect sense thank you. Do we know if this knee injury typically causes lessor strength issues? twitch issues for side to side movement? Or just all around weaker knee in every aspect?
Also what would you say Andy Heck runs OL wise? We all want to believe that we are a vertical team but lately we just haven't been.
