I dont remember hearing Faulk say he half-assed the block on Rodney Harrison. The one that got Trent Green hurt.
I’ve heard Faulk tell that story before and most likely it’s because I watched that vid before, probably on tv. As he says on the vid, after blaming himself for Green, he was then motivated to improve his pass blocking, which meant watching hours of film on opponents. The vid sort of alludes to this and doesn’t stress it, but he got to the point where he could come off the field during a game and go right up to Martz and tell him what the D was doing, as in we expected them to do X but they’re actually doing Y. Of all the Rams we’ve ever followed, Faulk may be the best combination of high caliber pure physical talent (vision, anticipation, very refined movement skills in space) and just sheer raw intelligence.
