From the little bit of film I managed to find, Paulino gets just enough of the down lineman when doubling to get their shoulders turned. With disciplined backs running behind him, this opens up enough of a crease for them to see, find, and hit. Additionally, once he turns the down lineman, Paulino will climb to seal the second level. Perhaps the one thing he does best, Paulino is often called upon to be the lead blocker on buck sweep-type plays. He gets out in front of the back, excelling at neutralizing the first perceived threat. One thing Paulino can build upon his to keep his feet moving. He does a great job seeking out and initiating contact, but more consistent vertical displacement will occur as he pumps and drives his feet.
