Guys have really started pushing it with the officials the past 2 weeks. Lots of stuff dirty and late.

[chuck]

It looks like the BoP are getting a ton of push out of the DEs and not much push out of the OLBs who seem content to stay in their lanes and occupy the OL outside. I haven't seen too much trickery up front.
