There are unblocked players on every play.
He's saying that the scheme for Oregon is to leave their OLBs unblocked.
They typically aren't blocked if your d linemen do their job.
In a 3-4, the 3 downs get blocked and the two middle backers. WRs could crackback on the OLBs or the line could get to OLBs but they typically don't get that far. It's the RBs job to make a guy or two miss because the defense is playing 9 vs 11 since the RB and QB can't block.

Sounds right to me.

Our OLBs made mistake after mistake. Washington came in on Jones out of control, Prevot got caught inside, Washington got kicked out on contain, etc. There were more bad plays by the OLBs than the DL.
The coaches know this and have changed recruiting. Reality is that Coleman and Washington weren't recruited for this system. Prevot will never be an every down OLB unless he can put more sand in his pants. He is perfect for an air raid offense.
The problem we have in the PAC is that you get too big and you will get destroyed by Leach or Dykes and you get guys like Prevot that get destroyed by an Ohio State.
Personally, I'd rather move to a different scheme or get 255 OLBs that may be a bit of a liability against CAL and WSU but just go on the attack like Stanford does with their OLBs.
