Is run block awareness part of finding the initial block? Or does it kick in after the lead block awareness finds the initial block?

run block -- An active type of blocking, where the player steps forward in an attempt to push a defensive player out of the path of the ball carrier.
pass block -- A passive type of blocking, where the player steps backward to establish a pocket around the quarterback to give the quarterback a chance to pass.
lead block -- A situation where one player precedes the ball carrier along his intended path in order to clear any defensive players that have not already been blocked.
pull -- When a member of the offensive line takes a step back from his usual place in a line and moves laterally in order to block somewhere else. Pulling can be done on pass and run plays.
The overwhelming majority of running plays in the game have the full back as a lead blocker as opposed to a standard run blocker. A lead blocking FB should be more effective than a run blocking FB. Whether that's actually the case? I have no idea.

Thank you for that elaborate explanation, Jampy. Whatever would we do without you.

Not sure pancakes are much an indication of awareness skills. I guess if he is producing a lot of cakes though he obviously is engaging. Then again you would have to look at the plays being called.
