Run Blocking tells about half of the story, maybe more as it's likely we'll lean on the running game this year to setup the pass. I'd be very interested in viewing a similar pass blocking metric, however there's obviously a lot more play in something like that as there are more options, outcomes, etc.

I'd agree about DT's blocking as it was a spot he was probably put in more often than he should have been, but you'd have to wonder that after tangling up with so many DBs that he's apparently having an issue getting a step on them through camp.

Not to turn this into a WR thread, but is there any possibility that he's not separating his umm, separation and initial contact between blocking and passing?
