I thought I would have some fun with a running joke that we’ve had around the office. Sometimes when we’re trying to grade out an offensive lineman (particularly a center), it can be tough when you get some film of a submarining nose guard. You know the one – the undersized kid, probably wrestles, and they stick him down at nose guard to just destroy your line’s knees and make piles.Well the funny thing about it is that I was that guy in High School. Not a wrestler, but everything else fits. And I loved it. First of all, how can you screw it up? On an average play, one guy was falling on top of me (and I’m holding on), and on a great play two or three of them went down. I had games where I graded out at 95% and had 1 tackle. By the way, I always argued that if they fell into the pile, I deserved a portion of the tackle. But I didn’t usually get that credit.
