Pause that clip at the 5 second mark and tell me that's a reasonable cutback for an average runner to make. It just isn't - that's a LeVeon Bell sort of cutback that would've had to have been made. If the plan was to create a hole between C/LG, then the C needs to get his man routed inside and all Reiter did there was get pushed backwards and cut that running lane off altogether.
Now by the same token, I may simply be asking too much of a mediocre player. That's a tough block for Reiter to make after he's snapping the ball and essentially giving away the split second advantage that an OL gets over the DL by knowing the snap count and the direction of the play. But that kinda gets back to my original point - we just need a better player there.
I think it's easier to find a C that could've held his own there than it is to find a RB who's adept at making jump cuts at speed.

The more i look, you're right, it's RG and C where he's supposed to hit. There's a hole there, Williams is too slow.
