I posted a couple weeks ago that Dan Moore was not doing his job, not beating defenders to the spot, being driven into the backfield on pass blocking. Time to observe that he improved massively this past Sunday vs. the Broncos. Just two plays give us an example.
Watch here as Moore beats the defender to the spot and completely neutralizes him on a run up the middle. Moore's positioning and hand use drives #53 completely out of the play.
Here, Moore - who is 6'5", 315 lbs. - blocks a LB'er in open space, using his very long reach to do the job. Rare to see an offensive lineman block this effectively one-on-one in open space like this:
Moore's pass blocking was also improved as he set the edge very effectively. The one sack-fumble is not really on him as he drove the pass rusher well beyond Ben, who then rolled to his right rather than stepping up, giving the defender an avenue to get to him.
Kudos to Moore. Feel a lot better about the line after watching this game.
