Curious to know if anyone has any thoughts on blitz awareness as a minor substitute for sprinting on DTs and DEs. For example, if the reaction time is 15-16 points better at responding to a RB getting the ball, that might be more or less equal to a few points in sprinting.
Hypotheticals:
- DTs: 45 sprinting, 65 blitz awareness vs a 48-50 sprinting, 50 blitz awareness.
- DEs: 60 sprinting, 65 blitz awareness vs. 63 sprinting, 50 blitz awareness
Would the biggest difference here be slightly more run-focused vs pass-focused, or is there something else to consider here?
