I know it probably doesn't stack but I have linchpin on like 2-3 different lineman. It's solid, it might buy you a sec in the run game. Really no real diff without it. I feel like if I have that on with nasty streak on my Power/mauler OLs 99 RBP they should be taking light linebackers/DBs to the ground more often, especially when they are being controlled by users that aren't really trying shed, just running. Having that on going against a Dollar defense should be an automatic 20+ yards minimum every time no matter if I run to the outside or inside, especially if I'm in big formations with 2OL subbed at TE lol. But this game isn't logical at all

It def does not stack so one is all you need.

What's the difference between linchpin and protected? One says better boxing on the oline and other says better pass protection but I don't really know if there's a difference

Neither one are very impactful. Secure protector is the best ability, edge protector is okay, post up is good on guards/center or a tackle if you're running to their side with tight end beside them. Nasty streak is good if you dont get pulled into a double team. All day is okay but nowhere near the impact of secure or edge protector. Depending on your scheme and how much ap you have left identifier and threat detector can be helpful
