Anyone have strong feelings on either of these? How about Snap Reaction?

Biggest concern is that a LB like that would be super one-dimensional, since TV would require a decent amount of PRP. Depending on traits picked, just getting 40-42 PRP costs 6k+ skill points--and a good deal more in Blitz Awareness if you don't want your LB to whiff really badly on runs and screens. The other issue is whether or not both can go off at the same time or, if not, one right after the other.
The consensus used to be that unless your player lined up at the line of scrimmage, snap reaction was pretty much useless. If it actually has some effect though, it might be a good substitute for a few points of sprinting, etc, or to get to the QB a bit more often. Any idea?

From my observations- TV seems to fire at a decent rate with just 25-35 on the LB. Granted him getting to the QB is all based on speed then because if a blocker picks him up he is not pushing him over or breaking out of the block. I have seen TV and First Step fire on the same play right after each other, I can't say accurately how often it happens. I view having them both as an insurance policy- I want to increase my chances of having some kind of speed boost if I'm dedicating a guy to blitzing.
