I'm surprised on the broadcast nobody mentioned the pancake Wilson had. He actually had a couple of nice blocks. I've seen the broadcast crew get excited if Wilson just screens a defender, so when I saw it happen during the play, I really thought they would point it out.
I don't really like him blocking, but his teammates must love it. I hope he is keeping his fingers in, though. It's the one thing I don't like about our option package. If the run comes back to the side Wilson goes to, he does get involved in the blocking. I hope he don't ever get caught in the wash.
A question for you experts. This regards the legality of how you can treat the QB on an option play. My dad always taught us that no matter what, you drill the QB as hard as possible that way he'll start flinching, maybe make quicker decisions (making poor decisions), or maybe even fumble. Also, the coach may stop calling those plays. Of course, Dad played in the early 60s and can barely breathe because his nose has been broken so many times.
Can the defense just knock the snot out of the QB every time and treat him like a normal blocker/runner (essentially a non-QB) on those plays? Hope this isn't a dumb question...
