So for Outside Blocker VA does the dot have to initially be 7yds from the ball at the start of the play for it to fire? or when he gets 7 yds out on say a toss or sweep then it fires for the dot?

I am serious about the First Step thing, too, BTW. PP tested giving his guard 10 first step, and it's night and day on how well he pulled and got to the edge. There should be some discussion of it in the test blog if you go look. That's why we added this VA. G's needed a way to get moving out of the gap faster and headed to the outside, as long as it's a choice as to whether he's built to do that, and you are rewarded for doing so.
