You think pass blocking is an intelligence issue?

Play tells me to go left or right and then I pick up from the inside out. There you have the most complicated and intellectual part of playing RB. A monkey can be taught to go left or right and then choose from inside to out.

Rookies struggle because they don't have to do it in college, not because they aren't smart enough. Being smart and pass blocking are in no way connected.
