I don't know the percentages (have neither the time nor the willpower to attempt to count), but it seems like a lot of the problems are associated with pulling guards and TEs. Weak side, strong side, doesn't seem to matter.

I mean, you're right of course, but a down lineman isn't really expected to defeat a double team AND pick up a pulling guard to keep the LBs clean, is he?

I suppose you could expect them to bull-rush the o-lineman so far back that he disrupts the pulling player. That happens sometimes. Hard to ask a guy to do that consistently. I would think a MLB should be able to read his triangle keys (guard, center, RB) and figure it the hell out. Then again, I'm not an expert.
