Sure enough, the next few plays saw defensive players on the ground, and the protection was much better. After about 4 plays, the ref came over to our coach and said, "I don't know what your offensive lineman is doing, but I know it is illegal, tell him to stop!"
Priceless! I have no idea what the dirty tricks were that he was doing, some dirty tricks he learned in college I expect, but it was hilarious.
