That being said, I'll fill you in right now.
First of all, every single one of our OLinemen and TEs have Gold Pancake Chef & Get Low and Silver Beat Down.
Gs and Ts across the board has between 80 and 90 RBT, 65-80 RBP, 50-60 consistency, 70-80 intim, 50+ conditioning and 40+ toughness. We decided to skimp a little on cond/tough since we had 4 OTs and 4 OGs as opposed to 3 of each. Our C has 95 RBT, 80 RBP, 70 snap reaction, 75 intim, almost 70 conditioning and 60 consistency & toughness. Our two main TEs (just added a third that hasn't been building with the team since day 1) are at 86/75 RBT/RBP, 80 intim, 55 consistency. One is at 65/55 tough/cond, the other is at 40/50. Our WRs (all 3 of them) have 79 run block tech, 56 run block power, 38 consistency (blocking WRs are weird to build), 50 cond/tough and 63 intim.
Comparing to your players. Again, I'll give you that your Boy DT Run and Boy DE Run should probably have an advantage over our players since they're similar in technique and have higher power.
Boy DE Combo has 69 BRB, 52 HG, 71 consistency, 75 toughness and 77 intim. So he can handle losing and he does some damage when he wins. That being said though, at 69/52 BRB/HG, he's going against our tackles who are at 90/70, 85/75 and 89/67 respectively. That should be a fucking mismatch. A nearly 20 point difference in both categories and yet it led to a stalemate: 2 cakes, 2 revcakes, plus plays like this (http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/203416/215828) where he got matched up with an 89/79 tech/power guard with Gold chef+get low and just slid off the block like it was nothing. This DE's only run defense SA is Shed Block, which is Gold, sure, but it's also running off a mere 69 BRB as opposed to our blockers with Gold Pancake Chef and 90 tech, or Gold Get Low and 67/70/75/79 power. Shit just isn't working.
Look at that same play, too. Look at the CB/WR interaction. The CB has 74 BRB, which is very respectable, but the motherfucker only has 10 hold ground. What the fuck do you call that little shove where he moves our 79/56 WR back a full yard, TWO TIMES IN A ROW. So now only is he consistently breaking the block despite fairly even technique scores, but he's shoving the blocker back despite almost a 50 point power disadvantage? Fuck that noise.Ok, you posted a lot of good info. Yet, you didn't really answer my question. I'm not being snarky. I'm trying to learn something here too.
I'm on my iPad so I don't see the health and morale bars of the play, but when I highlight each player my Defenders seem to have higher morale then your O players. Additionally, players like DE Combo have a lot of Heart (71) AND a high Contract (so 96 Heart). Heart is this mysterious modifier; it's possible it's making up for other skills. Plus having higher Morale at the start of the play.
And it's possible that DE Combo didn't really win any of the blocking interactions in the play you linked, but that his Blitz Awareness kicked in and he turned towards the ball carrier when the angle to him became visible.
So what (potentially relevant) skills of yours are lower than mine? Those have to matter somehow to make up for the skills where yours are higher.
Also, you didn't mention if your O players are subject to the SP recalc of their skills. Are they? Is it possible that RBT of 90 is really 80 when modified?
