What type of philosophy does McCarty have for the Offensive line?

What’s McCarthy’s philosophy on the offensive line?

I see McCarthy as a zone guy at heart. But he’s not married to it. He’s shown comfort mixing in man/gap/power elementswhen the personnel fits. Overall, he’s flexible and player-development focused rather than a rigid scheme ideologue.

That said, I still prefer having at least one true power/man-scheme guy on the OL — someone who can root out DTs, create movement at the point of attack, and open real holes in the ground game.

Some quiet but exciting news. The Steelers just added two coaches to the offensive line staff under Mike McCarthy this year.

zone based but adaptable.

 

I personally prefer to have a multi layered Offensive Blocking Scheme that can keep the opponents guessing. That said, it requires special types of Lineman Overall; doubly so in Center and both Tackles. Centers have to be athletic enough in space and OTs have to have more than enough displacement ability.

 

I bet he wants them to block.
