Tuiaki actually went into some detail on the philosophy of timing, countering &
...dodging blocks to get into the backfield. Similar to MMA and boxing, he wants his players to be able to time and anticipate o-line blocking techniques so that they can be dodged and avoided before they can be made effective -- he wants to emphasize anticipation as being much more effective than reaction in countering blockers.

I thought it was pretty interesting. It actually has very little to do with the offensive or attacking part of MMA or boxing -- he wants to implement some of the defensive philosophies and movements of those sports to more effectively shed and avoid blocks.
