I'm slow building a pass rush DT. He is only level 1 atm. However, I was wondering the affect of setting his style to pass, with the penalty to reading rushing plays. Is the penalty huge, or nominal? Also, for a pass rusher is it even necessary to set the toggle to pass, or should I leave it in the middle?

I think I have yet to set my DT to balanced or run, tbh. Pass rusher DTs are nearly always set to pass. The only exception perhaps would be when going up against a prolific run team I suppose. You'll still stuffs a lot of runs while set on pass. It's not a "huge" penalty.

On the pass coverage, how often are you going to be dropping back into coverage? Maybe never. (Of course I have seen this IRL, but not in GLB yet.) You can ignore it.

If you are worried you can compensate by pushing your vision higher.

My level 53 DT has quite a few sack and hurry awards and has never been on balanced or pass tactic.

Personally, I am not sure it really matters what your DT setting is.

I don't think it is a significant bonus or penalty either way.

Never noticed much difference myself.

The focus tactic has a lot less importance than it did in seasons 1-3. It is much more important at lower levels.

I stand corrected. Thanks.
