In 1943, Blaik scuttled his tried & true single-wing power stuff, adopted the quick-opening, tricky T. From power blocking (two-on-one) to man-to-man and downfield brush blocking was an awful reconversion headache. Even in its simplest form, the delicate T timing proved too much to master in a single season.
