Don't even bother looking at the Targeted/Receptions allowed stat.

Dammit. I made a blitzer day 40.

No need to face palm that.....I prefer the blitzer arch type for every LB position except for the LOLB who covers TE and I do like the coverage LB arch type for that spot only. The Blitzer archtype has majors in speed,agility,vision, and tackling which is exactly what you want at the LB position. You don't have to blitz them just because they are a blitzer arch type

BZ LB has majors in SPD/AGL/TKL and JMP not VIS .. but its still my favourite archetype for an all around solid LB build

The primary difference is the VAs. Builds will be pretty similar.

You're right. I remembered there was a reason I wanted Blitzer over coverage and it was because a blitzer has a major in tackling and coverage has a major in vision. I would rather tackling get the major ALG's for a LB and just take vision up higher skill points.
I am sure there are those that would disagree but I would rather see a LB with higher tackling than I would higher vision. Now my LB's that will be covering TE's have coverage for the higher vision but the rest of my LB's I want tackling higher.
Just my preference is all.

So far in 5 scrimmages my LB has given up 11 receptions allowed on 11 targets. This sim can go fuck itself tbh.
I think i'm retiring my coverage LB after this season, I'm tired of looking at borts moronic version of what receptions allowed looks like.

Blitzers are fine for MLBs, but the extra weight they carry makes them suck in coverage.

how many were screens? that's where LBs get killed in RecAllow stats. also, was the LB assigned to cover WRs? from what I understand, coverage LBs can only cover TEs and backs as they get penalized for trying to cover WRs.
