Anybody ever try this? Academy is going with this on our S* HB next season (Gold both). Both SAs reduce the tacklers morale/energy and tackling rolls. I'm hoping to see a bunch of broken tackles while maintaining speed.

I only want you to do this so you'll rage more.

Short answer: Don't.

I saw some S* HB using Freight Train against 80s and slapping our guys down.

Are you saying don't use Freight train because I know stiff arm works.

Trog didn't have Stiff Arm. Freight/Stiff could be an interesting combo depending on how much power you gave him. Would have to pump up intimidation, Trog was only at around 50.

Faster drains on energy/morale is never a bad thing... Not sure if SAs can fire simultaneously or back to back though. Also not a huge fan of driving up intimidation as I don't believe that the skill itself does much, if anything, to opposing energy like it reads that it should. Could be super powerful if it drained energy like it should at higher levels. Wouldn't be hard to pile on some intimidation on a pure power back though so can't hurt.

Does Stiff Arm fire when dragging tacklers? It seems like it prevents defenders from grabbing hold.

I'm running a PUP HB very similar (not S* though) build to him with only about 50 intimidation to see how often freight train will fire. It's tough getting quick, sprint, power running, intim, conditioning and carry awareness up high.

Not sure but freight train is suppose to make the HB maintain speed.

Freight Train...While Active: Speed loss from dragging tacklers is reduced. Seems to me that they would be mutually exclusive.
