Defensive line better without APs??
Stock D line been giving my non-stock O-line fits. I followed suit. Now it is a race to get a big enough lead. Whoever gets it wins because passing becomes real dangerous in 3rd an long when there is 15AP off the line.
I have basically all my AP on my D-Line and they are terrorizing my oponents.
The only AP I use on my DL is inside stuff and that’s only on my DTs. I tried ET and ETE and got virtually no pressure, so I figured might as well use that AP elsewhere
I loaded up abilities on my DL and get no pressure at all, I really dont know what to do at this point.
I have been getting a pretty good pass rush without Dline abilities on my Ravens theme team. I find it help to rotate guys in and out, and also move where they line up to prevent any blocker resistance. I've have 7 guys in the rotation.
Only et and ete work consistently I think.
Depends on who it is also, I have ete on khalil mack and it always lights up.
I'm a D-Line User and I can confirm that the D-line plays better without Abilities. I put the Swim Resistance and More QB Pressure and they light-up showing they activate but I don't actually see them doing anything and more often than not the Swim and Bull Rush moves get resisted and they go nowhere; whereas without abilities Strahan and Randle run people over immediately and bee-line for the QB.
Thanks for the input.. definitely gonna take APs off them and see how it goes
I’ve decided that most don’t do anything to add to pass rush skill, though I am still holding onto edge threat elite on Derrick Thomas, but I’ve also added under pressure to Randle and Sweat and have been somewhat successful at causing errant throws - my entire secondary has pick artist, so I can usually capitalize on those.......
Yeah I have pick artist on all secondary... It's definitely the best AP for secondary.
I’ve tried every combo of dline abilities suggested here and NONE are consistent or work well outside inside stuff.
I’ll save my APs for my secondary and it’s worked out well.
Inside stuff I feel like is super inconsistent... I have it on my two DTs, John Randle and Glover, who are both pass rushers/speed rushers. It works OK at best for Randle, and it sucks on Glover. What I noticed is when I had it on run stopping DTs such as Linval Joseph and Michael Pierce it worked way better.
I've come across a number of opponents with zero APs on their d-line, and they shred my offensive line throughout the game. Anyone else experience this?
