Buges was a great coach but personally I got the feeling that he was teaching an antiquated system. Grimm used the same system but evolved it while with Pittsburg. I didn't think Grimm even used the Zone blocking method but I recently read some where that the HC of the Cardinals talking about their OL and it's zone blocking scheme. Then I remembered people talking about Pittsburg's zone blocking being one of the best.

Anyway Buges was a great coach, the system worked great in the 80's and into the 90's. Also Buges taught "Man to Man" blocking. I'm not saying he had no clue but his forte was man to man. No different then some OL coach's are zone blocking specialists but struggle teaching man to man.
