We talked about wide load on Rochester Mustangs (Titania league) and have tried to stack this ability a bit on the O-line.

I like the idea about a big heavy O-line that is hard to get by even when they are comitted to blocking others. I'm not sure if it is correct, but I like the idea that if a blitzer slips by two of the O-line that are comitted to blocking, both gets a 10% shot at slowing him down. That might not be much but at level 2 with the 20% chance, then rushing directly through the line should become pretty hard.

Also the idea that this ability adds something to you DOT that it does not "normally have" is pretty nice in my book.

Does anybody have any experience with this signature ability and if it is any good?
Or is there something that might do the job better?

I have it on my guy. It's really hard to know if it is helping or not. I haven't witnessed it firing watching replays. It may be better at 3-stars since it goes to 40%

The description is confusing. It's passive and activated at 100%, but then it says "the chance to slow down blitzers is increased by x%".

right, so you likely always have a chance to slow down blitzers. The SA is always active and increases your chance to slow them down by x%. It's basically a permanent increase to your chance to slow down blitzers, from my understanding.

I have it on all my O-Linemen, and I can't say if it does any good or not. It certainly doesn't slow down the outside blitzers, but it may help with the inside ones. Only evidence I have of that is it doesn't seem like the inside blitzes work as well against my team as it does against the teams I have played. The Inside blitz sucks at getting pressure on the QB anyway so if that's all it helps with its not worth taking in my opinion.

Well if you're playing bad pass rushers then yes the pass rush won't be as good,
if you are playing against great pass rushers you should have just as many problems against inside blitz as you do outside.

Does this ability "compound" if a Blitzer is blitzing between multiple OL with Wide Load? G and T both slow him?
