So intimidation increases pressure on the QB according to the tooltip.

If you are causing more pressure, would that motivate the QB to throw the ball sooner than he otherwise would have? Thereby reducing the time you have to try to get a sack? Basically converting what would have been a sack into a hurry instead?

Id say it forces him to throw an errant pass and gives you a Hurry

That is what I was thinking. Depending on the atts of the QB though, it might make him hold the ball longer, as he'd struggle to see a pass.

Could high intimidation also cause the QB to hold in more players?

Id say it would help force him too if you blitz heavy, IMO.

I don't think that intimidation will make a QB throw faster and will most likely up the hurries. I have noticed QBs firing off passes right after a spin cycle fires on DEs with little to no investment in intimidation so I would venture to guess that intimidation does not cause this.

I'd say Intimidation forces him to throw a bad pass most likely.
