Pursuit, pursuit, pursuit. Awareness, awareness, awareness.

Cutting right through heart of the best non-Pull Spec line in GLB:

A DT dragging down a 100 sprint back for TFL on an outside run... in the opposite direction...:

Low RB Awareness and low Blocking Awareness = Pursuit TFL:

Even against lines known for excelling with more-than-meta awareness...:

More shenanigans against some of Vet's best HBs, on both the inside and outside:

And... breaking off blitz to break up screens in the backfield:

Doing it a second time...

Is this a satire post?

Except nearly all of them are?

Runs straight at defender, block gets broken with Shed Block, gets the tackle

Strong side run tackled by strong side defensive tackle isn't opposite direction? Also, Shed Block/broken block.

I'm actually kind of embarrassed now. For some odd reason, sig abilities were turned off in my replays. I have no idea why. The abilities bit was only tangential anyway. Point stands. I know it will come off as trollish to some. That's not my intention. Just having fun with it.

Either way, the underlying point stands: these are all a result of going above meta in two particular skills that are woefully underrated. The proof is in how disproportionately more tackle attempts and TFLs my d-linemen have been getting in on, despite relatively low BRB and very low Power Tackling. Just wanted to knowledge-share with the player base, not-so-subtly discouraging the meta.
