Right now there are no plays in the playbook that fit this description. All of the C1 Robbers are listed as "Short". That could work, or listing them as "Medium" would add some diversity.

Cons:
None

Benefits:
Blitzing linebacker can trigger Trash Talk SA.
Diversity for coordinators seeking Cover 1 Robber.
Ability to build Zone skills/SA's on a linebacker in a defense that is still Man.

3-3-5 version:

3-2-6 version:

5 man blitz with C1 LB Robber. This is a "faux pas", but seriously, who cares about leaving the Fullback uncovered? He actually caught the pass? As a Defensive Coordinator, I'd take the crappy gain every time. Just so people don't get confused. Why not label it "Medium" pass, so if it's called at a "Medium" distance, and the Fullback catches it, he still won't convert.

Cons:
Fullback is left uncovered (but who cares, it's the fullback)

Pros:
The only blitz play like it in the game.
Ability to build Zone skills/SA's on a linebacker in a defense that is still Man.
Blitzing linebacker can trigger Trash Talk SA.
Diversity for coordinators seeking Cover 1 Robber.
Take advantage of I formation offenses that are trying to pass.
If the QB's rattled, the Fullback is probably staying in anyways.
Unlike the 3-3-5 and 3-2-6 variants above, this blitzing linebacker actually has a chance of sacking the QB.

I like the idea, but nobody is going to run plays that leave everyone besides the WRs uncovered.

some of the best ways to slow down a team is to force them to pass to hbs and fb who usually have very few receiving skills

Absolutely. Most of the pass heavy offenses run routes that go a minimum of 10 yards. Having a HB, or in this case the FB, catch a pass short of the chains is a victory.

In the first two play examples, everybody on the field will be covered, no matter the offensive formation. At the very least, these should be added to the playbook.

In the last one, the HB and TE are covered in addition to the WR's. Only the FB is left uncovered.

:/ No he wouldn't. He wouldn't get out into his route deep enough to be scary.

I would love any team to pass the ball to their HB or FB.

Wouldn't matter how deep he got because I would just Pro Set Slant the shit out of you and you would have no defender within 15 yards of him.
