How often do you get double teamed?

It doesn't work for DTs, why would it work for DEs?

The way the SA reads, it should work.... However, not all SA's actually work so I am not too-sure if this would..? You would THINK that break-thru would be good for LDE's... since they get double-teamed so much.

it wouldnt be completely absurd

if a DE gets double teamed, it's usually a FB+OT or TE+OT
if an NT gets double teamed, it's usually a C+G

i would guess that you actually have a chance to break through in the DE's matchup, whereas the boost is probably negligible on a the NT that's facing a center and guard. especially if the TE or FB isnt specced heavily for blocking

because the DE's matchup in a double team is easier that the DT's

good theory, but i don't know if i'd trust it. after seeing my DT get nowhere with it i'm very skeptical. there are so many better SA's for DE's anyways (TV, FS, ShedBlock) that i wouldn't take the risk

Most DEs don't have the right skill set to make use of Breakthrough.

(most NTs don't either )

Lots of bad-assness and very little weak sauce

My advice is that if your NT can occasionally perform break-throughs against equal competition, then it is worth investing in break-through if you would like to see more of that happening.

If you don't have a build that can ever break-through against equal opposition, you are probably wasting points on it.

Even if you do "qualify," break-through is often not your best investment...I am just pointing out that it is not as worthless as some folks claim.
