I guess I need to hit the waiver wire for unintelligent players with high break tackle and strength attributes.

The first four were break tackle, last was ball carry.

I'm testing. :)

The four missed tackles were by defensive starters . Two were by the Wlb . They averaged around 50 strength and 60 breaktackle and we're smaller than the fb. The fb averages 80 snaps a game but touches the ball about 5 to 6 times a game .

It's not like good blockers were out there but in general when guys have the ball, blocks are too static and held too long. In beta after changes were made some big strong guys were taking back like three kicks a game.

Parabolizing ratings has made carry and break tackle more important . The return game has looked rough for 2 years now. ....you want those broken tackles cause there is no gang tackling . ..it's one on one. Really strength only helps with dragging players or getting extra yards. Maybe you'll slow them down enough to let another catch them.

On PRs I will get them with a blend of guys but there is a speed minimums for both. That fb is faster than close to 80% of the players his size. It's not fast but when you get a set of rolls like that it's enough .

Ok, so I'm far too familiar with the 4.5 4th quarter double false start penalty, followed by a facemask penalty to even things out. Seen that series a dozen times. But to follow it up with this? I've NEVER made this catch after all the penalties before. In that context, it is positively WACKY!

Here's a 3rd down play that results in an incomplete pass, but there was an offensive penalty. Instead of refusing the penalty and bringing 4th down, the penalty is enforced ..... and they score a TD on 3rd down.

I've always seen penalties declined in these situations - was surprised to see them given another 3rd down.

Amusingly, the first guy has 100 tackling ability. Bold choice, btw, of using your CB1 on punt coverage.

The second guy is the punter, so ... good luck with that.
