What is the min amount needed on a balanced offense, to stop the defense from spin cycling us to death?

I think 50 can get the job done with good play calling. Might even survive ok with 40 on Gs

Interesting

Mine are between 40 and 45. Ill evaluate throughhout the tiers.

Definitely depends on the opponent.

Against a good pass rushing line, +10yd situations are pretty hard to deal with 50ish PRT, lot of pressure, but for a balanced team you can't really afford to get much higher.

Unsure how much benefit you get from going higher than 50. There doesn't seem to be a lot of value from there on out. After that it's less worrying about spins from dline and more worry about picking up the blitz.

Might go 45 on all my guys instead of 40.

They are all at 40 right now and get spin cycled vs Journeymen teams. I can only imagine what Vet has in store.

Have you worked at all on movement skills? I think it helps a good deal if they move well. If you haven't already try getting some footwork on them.

And I agree more than 50 seems Theres not much improvement until you sell out completely. Never done that so can't say myself.

Yeah I gave them some footwork but that is more for moving into position to pick up the block. They do that fine. Once they are engaged, spin cycle kicks in.

Ill probably go 45 on all of them.

If you have 50+ pocket awareness on your QB(which every QB should) then 35 PB Tech, 35 PB Power and 40 PB awareness is plenty IMO.

Also 85+ Speed Receivers help a great deal.

OT - 70 min
G - 60 min
C - 50 min

The OT positions are most critical though and they need some footwork too. I use gold leverage on mine, not sure it coutners Spin, but they do a great job on pass protection.

The 70 PBT is probably what is helping the most with spin cycles in all honesty. I am sure that leverage does not hurt but DEs have to be winning the block interaction for spin cycle to fire and 70 RBT likely results in them winning the rolls less than those that are rocking 50 PBT or whatever.
