heck-down option, so they don't have any room to run. I remember back in the late 1990s, when Dennis Green used to use many screen packages for RB Robert Smith, who thrived with that kind of blocking in front of him. Mike Tice did the same sort of thing with Michael Bennett and even The Whizzinator (Ontarrio Smith).

Imagine what Peterson could do with Bryant McKinnie and Steve Hutchinson standing in front of him pancaking defenders?!
