Default The Offensive Line

For this particular customer, he wanted the stock poses. And while the stock poses are great, I wanted to add a twist to his team. So I asked him if I could make him an even more versatile line (at no extra cost to him).

I had two lines that I felt could make an impression. One was the 3-pt downlineman O-line or the more versatile zone blocking/pass blocking line.
For the run O-Line, this was created for someone is is more of a ball control offense. Someone that I think would be even more dominate with that type of line is a Jim Davis-type. The players have a forward lean which basically causes momentum.

The other line is a zone blocking line in the mode of the Denver Broncos. When I originally started creating customs, I watched the Denver Broncos and froze-framed the players in a position. Thus, the line I came out with is the pass blocking line you often see me create.

I love this line because of the versatility. It is not only a strong line but it can do many things. Whereas the run line must be kept close together, you can space the zone blocking line out. I usually have my linemen a base length a part. Alot depends on the rules though. With the O-line that you see in the picture, the linemen have a much greater arm range than most linemen. Therefore, it allows the QB to have more time in the pocket.

The painting is still in its early stages but it gives you a sense of what is ready to happen. Show below is the New Orleans Saints O-Line. Any questions, please feel free to ask.
