Thats what I noticed. Like he would always get partly pushed back against double teams, but that's bound to happen when you have two 300+ pound guys blocking you. The difference between him and Kemo is where when Kemo would continue to be pushed and driven back, Cofield would hold his ground.

The part I don't like though is he doesn't seem great at shedding blocks, even though ironically he's really good at using his hands. One thing I think people have to keep in mind though when watching these videos is on pass plays where it looks like he's doing nothing but standing there he's really being asked to spy the QB.

He can get a bit of a bull rush going though when he needs to.
