A strong run game makes pass protection significantly easier by forcing defensive players to hesitate rather than just teeing off against the pass.

“Well, it makes the pass rush so much easier. These guys are thinking, they're not teeing off. You know, if they know the if they know that you're going to throw the ball, they don't have to hesitate one bit at the line of scrimmage.”

An offensive lineman's best attribute is the ability to maintain position and avoid holding penalties while in difficult blocking situations.

“I think I was smart enough to one, let go, and then that was kind of like I would say if someone asked me like, "What was your best attribute?" Like I I could just get out of like terrible situations.”
