Blocking
Higher down the field blocking awareness
When a player finds free space and has blockers in front of him, the blockers will actively work towards the smartest point of attack
Pass protection much more efficient at controlling A and B gap blitzes (though players with pass rushing abilities can still be felt in these areas)
Interior offensive linemen work to create running holes through double-teams and takedown blocks (pancake, cut)
Running backs pick up interior blitzes much more effectively
Some running backs will utilize cut blocks to eliminate pressure coming in through A or B gap blitzes
Smarter lead blocking on pulling guards during pitches or power runs
