0 sacks in 3 seasons? How does that disprove his point?

Not trying to disprove his point, but over 100 sacks in career looks good. I am asking about a preference on the custom SA. That is all!

An important caveat to that career total... most of those 102 career sacks came very early in his career. He's had 0 sacks in his 3 WL seasons. He had 16 sacks in Season 81, but he got those by feasting on weak teams in South Atlantic Pro, not exactly a top-tier league.

So, if you want sacks at the top level of the game, this LB is not the one to use as a role model. He's probably a great LB, as most of ProKop's dots are, but he's not a good *blitzing* LB.

The LB SAs are not good, so plan on investing in multiple bonus SAs. 1st Step. Head of Steam. Disguise Blitz.

Just remember. Bort hated LBs in classic. He decided to make it up to them in GLB2.

I get that, but I am certain he was built with a purpose in mind, world league should be difficult to rack up sacks! If one builds a "blitzing LBer," perhaps focusing on the custom slot for multiple SAs

Thank you TJ, interesting! any opinions on Relentless Pursuit & Closing speed? Does closing speed work around the line of scrimmage?

Maybe ProKop and TJ can either back this up or refute but when setting up a 'blitz' only CB's and D-linemen can really sit right on the LOS where '1st Step' works best from. Having it on a Safety or LB where they start from at least a step or two off the LOS makes it less worthy? Also, as an OC where I see so many successful 'blitzes' come from generally 2 positions... #1 being DE and #2 being whichever LB they send up the middle to slip past the Center occasionally. That's my 2 cents.

1. Blitzing LBs are what I built best and I love them
2. Bort killed them like seven years ago. Rip
3. If you have a DC who can utilize them properly, they can still be meh
4. Build doesn’t matter it’s all the DC and it’s a huge risk imo
5. My guy sucks because our D isn’t built to benefit from a blitzing LB. it just isn’t a great idea unless the DC is very passionate about it and truly gameplans for the LB to do well.
6. Again. Just build a CB or prDE.

Also Theo is right from what we used to do. Up the middle was where my old blitz LBs did best in WL.
