You wanna get a quarterback broken in half, have a RB miss a blitz pickup.

That's how you see those savage shots from a dude at full tilt. When an OL fails, he generally at least gets a hand on a guy and keeps him from sprinting into the quarterback's throat.

But man, if you miss an assignment on a blitz pickup, you can get Pat killed. Even if you can't always win the rep, you gotta make sure you know where you're supposed to be and if the staff's not confident that he does - don't send him out there.

Pat's more important than an extra .5 yard per carry...
