The Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Awards of Excellence awarded offensive line coach Bobb McKittrick with his induction to the hallowed hall. He of course was the O line architect for 21 seasons, and was involved in all 5 Super Bowl victories. His favoring of smaller, faster, and mainly unheralded, linemen set the tone for the the quick short passing game, and the motion/misdirection that was the west coast offense. Nevermind the cut blocking he so favored as well.

Strangely enough, we are still in the midst of this philosophy. McKittrick led to our OC Mike Shanahan, which led to the Broncos going with smaller faster linemen and unheralded running backs to help power the John Elway offense, which led to Kyle Shanahan, the current cheap-skater of our current offensive line. So here we are still trying to build a small fast heap line.
