Could be.I saw all of the interior including Dedich pushed back often yesterday. The backs usually had success to the outside or cutting back.
I will rewatch it. Overall (obviously at this point) Ive been impressed with Dedich over all. Getting pushed back is different than whiffing, which Avila was doing against the Texans. Unfortunately he was injured so early on....maybe he would have settled in.
You're right about offsetting their size and strength inside by getting outside and creating seems for the RBs.
There were some runs with the RBs creating on their own too. Williams may not break 60 yard runs but he is so adept and making a guy missing and turning a zero run into a 3 or 4 yard gain.
There was some good work on inside runs however too.
Both Dotson and Dedich had some good physical run blocks on inside runs and Shelton did his shielding block thing to affect.
There was a lot of good work up front in the run game in my opinion.....both inside and outside, but, more outside I agree and both backs looked really good. The pass blocking was the issue all across the board really.
Jackson has been very solid at LT, especially considering his missed time. He generally has a good recovery where he looks beat on first step and recovers.
