related issue on hurries:
has anyone else noticed that blitzing DBs are far less likely to get credited with forcing a hurry than DEs and LBs, even if they get as close or closer to the QB? is this because the QB possibly doesn't see/hear them (and therefore doesn't feel any pressure)?
Amazing that a QB and OLs can "sense" 100% of blitzes before the snap but then some of those blitzers won't get credited with a hurry even if they are on top of the QB when he throws.Isn't that related to that change they made some time ago to make players with more strength and tackling cause more "hurry pressure" on the QB? Maybe players with low strength and tackling cause so little that until they tackle, he won't get rid of the ball.
... Which does give rise to a new interesting type of strategy
