Caldwell has also been pleased with the blocking of skill guys downfield, and went out of his way to mention virtually each of them by name: Pierre Garcon, Austin Collie, Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, Gijon Robinson, Joseph Addai, Donald Brown as well as praising their coaches.
“In terms of receivers blocking down the field, it’s as good as we’ve had throughout the years, this first quarter [of the season]. Pierre is a very solid, hard-nosed blocker. Collie gets his nose in there. Reggie has always been a very fine blocker. Then when you mix Dallas and Gijon, when they get down the field, that corps does a pretty good job, even Joseph. You probably remember the first game, Donald Brown blocking downfield and giving Reggie a chance to find a seam on one of our wide receiver screens. So, I think all across the board that’s something that we’ve emphasized, and Clyde Christensen and Tom [Moore] are getting that done, getting it across to those guys, and they’re executing pretty well.”
