Defensive abilities vs secure protector

Posts: 36 |

Are literally all dline abilities useless against secure protector? inside stuff has done nothing for me recently. i stopped using edge threats a while ago but ive still been using double or nothing- does that even do anything anymore? might try running 0 ap on my whole dline at this point

i just run speedster, best way to get a pass rush is blitz the slot corners. it's cheesy but its a video game and thats what works. Oh an Mad Maxx with the X-factor will beat it

gotchu. Ik milkmans xfactor also can beat oline abilities but i sold him when he was up for 500k. u ever try hargrave? I never got him from the makerights but i might pick him up after reduxes to see if his xfactor helps

Ya, i run eagles TT but his x-factor is run stuffer. so i just use secure tackler and inside stuff.

I'm not sure but I'll try running more secure protectors on my oline to see if it helps with run blocking too. Tons of people run 2 inside stuffs now because multiple players are getting it for free.

i was running three inside stuffs not too long ago. it took me a bit to realize but they were rarely working. significant difference since a month or two ago when inside stuffs lit up every single inside run play. Only difference i can think of is secure protectors becoming more common

I’m struggling to figure out what to run on my d line now as well. I keep 0 AP inside stuffs on my d tackles too, and I think I’m going to roll with just double or nothing and no outsiders on my ends, as everyone has secure protectors or edge protectors on all their linemen it seems.
