The coronavirus pandemic could lead to pandemonium on offensive lines throughout the NFL. “As you watch the linemen in particular, their pad level starts out high, their fits on their blocks are not as tight, the timing of how the combination block occurs going onto the second level's inconsistent,” says new Cowboys coach McCarthy.
