    henning and the o-line could learn alot watching this video.the reason it works so well is there is always at the very least one lead blocker and most of the time 2.just about every time we try to run some type of sweep there is no lead blocker and if there by chance is he is usually either falling down,picking up the wrong guy or not getting off thier man fast enough.also seems our backs and recievers hit it too fast for the blockers to get out front.i believe mcquiston(sp) did a pretty good job of this in the greenbay game but i also have heard he isn't good at it consistantly.

    Well, what is interesting to me about this is not only Lomnardi a hero of Sparano, but the concept is one that the WC uses when it is running well, the jet sweep portion anyway.

    As for the power sweep, players just became to athletic for it and no chase it down from behind..but as we see with the WC, there is nothing preventing a blocker from sealing the play from behind with a block on the OLB or DE.
