Is anyone seeing reliable activation of this SA? I feel like it should turn on more for my 85 awareness man coverage corner with it at 2, since so many of my other guys with similar setups at other spots have their SAs go on like crazy.

How often is your guy actually by himself?
Given the popularity of quick passes and curls, I suspect the problem is more that your guy is never really on an island. If pass blocking ever evolves to the point where teams like Zorp can start throwing bombs, that might change.

I kinda like it on strong side CB's... React to the run before the WR goes into block mode.

Does anyone have any links to a play where this has fired? I would like to see what it takes to actually get this to fire in game, because I have yet to even see it.
I am willing to dig through replays of players to find it if you just want to say you saw it fire on a particular player within the last week etc.

I routinely run cover 0 plays (ie. 6 man pass rush, 5 man coverages), in a league with some brutal passing games, and I honestly don't think I could find a single play where the play would meet the criteria to fire off, let alone actually seeing it fire.
Now, I do have Air Raid coming up in the not too distant future, so maybe it'll happen then. If it does, I'll let ya know

It seems like any FL Hitch being covered by like a Zero Edge Blitz would be a situation to get this to fire, but I just have never seen it happen. I wonder if there is a coding bug here with displaying it or triggering it.
On an Island is a SA choice based purely on your league and team scheme.
If they both don't comply, you can find yourself wasting 6 APs

It's a 4 yard halo that is checked when the ball gets into deflection range. I'm 99% sure FL Hitch will never trigger it.
Now, something like I Formation - Double Back Hooks could because WR1&2 are on fly routes on opposite sides of the formation with the other 3 potential receivers piling up in short middle. Even then, though, the trick is holding off the pass rush long enough for the WR & DB to get far enough downfield no other DB can get within 4 yards of the play by the time the ball arrives. So, still low probability, but really useful if it does fire because you prolly don't want a WR in one on one deep coverage making the catch.
I personally think of it like Laces Out for kickers. That's another low probability of triggering conditions, but when they come up, you really, really want those bonuses.

I promise to call a large sample size of passing plays.

You sure it won't get triggered potentially on these plays?

Any 2wr play against a big blitz is a good way to get it fired.
If you have fast zone safeties and a C2, forget about it.
