As I keep playing it back in my mind, I'm guessing that he was helping his quarterback drop back a little quicker.
I kept watching for it to happen again, never did. Maybe he was pushing off so that he could get to his assignment faster. But I keep thinking this was another coach trying to gain an advantage........
Coach, to team: Our quarterback has one fine passing arm. The problem is....he is way too slow getting back to the pocket.......How can we, as a team, help him to get back to the pocket quicker.....
Anyway, I just had to get this off my chest.

Didn't get called, huh? [breaking out notebook, furtively taking notes, drawing diagram]
Seriously, though, the QB's getting in the way of pulling linemen is a considerable coaching concern. Usually, though, the fear is of their feet getting tangled, and pushing out of the way isn't going to help with that.
