Running backs rely heavily on their offensive
line to gain yards. |
|
Quarter backs rely on their offensive line to
protect them, and their receivers to gain yards after the catch for their
yards. |
|
While receivers must fall back on shear skill to
get their yards, with no one to block for them. |
