In Goodson’s early season interview he said he’s trying hard to follow his coaching for “having more patience to let the block develop.” So, Goodson’s too many stop-at-the-line-like-a-deer-in-headlights and wait for the crunch moments were likely ineffective coaching. What made Goodson fun to watch early on was, as you say, his early vision and decision making to jump the hole, sidestep or cut back when needed. Some negative influence may have taken place to change his natural instincts. With this O-line, textbook ‘wait for the block to develop’ dogma may not work against stronger teams. Even newbie G. Williams’ head-down and plow through method seemed more effective than simply freezing at the line.
