I would like to decide how many pass blockers my team uses vs how many expected rushers
So if the qb sees x rushers i hold in y blockers

this is the third thread ive started all targeting the same problem
no way to mitigate pressure
and each trying to propose a different game mechanic fix
% of time each position is held in to block, custom slots, and now this
i get that you think i'm just trying to find a way to not throw 1 yd passes to my backs, but that to me is a completely different issue from too much pressure which seems like its almost certainly going to be fixed over time by hbs increasing in speed and quickness and elusiveness etc, and i'm not in favor of "rookie mode" fixes or whatever you call it when you just boost rookies arbitrarily
and no, you shouldnt get the same amount of pressure when you just blitz the guy in coverage on whoever stays in to block, because presumably they werent rushing in the first place because they are more coverage oriented
and i agree that khyree doesnt get passed over just because he isnt sproles but he does go out less as a receiver and stays in more as a blocker than sproles does
and while i dont think we absolutely need that mechanic i do think that you could only add that mechanic by adding ridiculously complicated custom slots where you tell each slot how often to block etc and i dont want ALL of that, just the ability to help the qb out
i also think if you allow the guy who is covering the now blocker the option of zone, spy, rush, you will get 3 different results all of which could benefit the offense or defense depending on a lot of other things
and then you might get less pressure overall but be throwing into tighter windows depending on preference
and also, sometimes you come off a little as a mom scolding children for trying to break each others toys, and i dont think you mean too, but i would appreciate it if you maybe tried to not do that as much because it makes me feel kind of offended and i know you're not trying to offend me personally so i'm trying not to take it that way but still

No I know that is not your intent. That is my intent and I am trying to help you focus on why these things you keep suggesting need more thought to them.

that still just seems like a rookie league problem that i dont care about as long as it goes away at higher levels
and my core suggestion is give us a way to increase protection against standard rush situations
is there any way to do that that you personally wont immediately exploit?
why not just make some empty set plays for yourself and give defense the option to go 0 coverage or 9 coverage against it?

It is all a rookie problem. What you are suggesting is a rookie problem.
