If Studdard can succeed here, it effectively rebutts the presumption that athleticism is necessary to play in the ZBS.

I've never understood that line about athleticsm. You run 6 yards one way, turn either left or right, and then run 4 more. Watch. The max run by most of our O linemen is about 10 yards per play. If one of RB's breaks a big run to the outside then more but so does every scheme.

I do think the guards need to be quick though when they initially pull.

i think you are right, it is more about quickness
