With the line play proving relatively leaky, the running backs have definitely stepped up in pass protection.
Two in particular each had a couple of great pass-blocking reps on Saturday. Craig Reynolds has earned a reputation for being excellent in pass pro, and he proved it once again. He stepped into a blitzing Strickland and gave Hooker all the time he needed to complete a pass. Undrafted rookie Kye Robichaux might have made the most impressive block of the day regardless of position, slamming a blitzing Erick Hallett hard to the turf on an A-gap blitz. Robichaux earlier earned a lot of fan cheering for dragging DB Avonte Maddox several yards on a run up the sideline. Good day for No. 25.
