In general blocking schemes for running plays are designed to create 
holes that the runner goes through.  However, it is much easier to 
create those holes and thus be out of the way of the runner if you 
aren't being pushed around or knocked flat by the defense, which was 
often the case last year.  

The extent to which they can change that in 2008 will go a long way
towards defining the success of the team.
