My story on how it comes together: https://t.co/dFbu8JzQoD
"Kyle is huge on the OL playing a key role on our keepers, specifically the backside 'B' combination," Staley said. Safeties & LBs read through the backside G/T combo, so it was paramount for us that we gave the same exact look on those keepers as we did on the actual runs."

Laken Tomlinson is fantastic on wide zone plays. Dude doesn't hang his left tackle buddy out to dry, which regularly happens with other OT+OG combos.
