I have a DE w/ 8 "Blitz." I put ALL my bonus tokens into the damn thing and neglected all my other SA's, therefore my build should be a shining example of Blitz's impact on a player. PURE blitz speciality build:

edit: No longer a blitzing build. I changed him. Yup, that's what I think of the SA, lol).
One sack the entire season... pathetic. Plus look at my team... we're kicking ass too!:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=6676Against "Libertas Guardians," who are a creampuff opponent, my RDE had 0 sacks. Look at these phenomenal plays he made on the LOT! (sarcasm):

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=722725&pbp_id=7208470 (same thing)
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=722725&pbp_id=7208179 (LOT owns my DE. Look at RDE's speed compared to LDE... small difference.)
The other DE on my team, "Stoplight Smith" is doing MUCH better for himself. He uses NO blitz, but has stocked up on both Shed Block (6) and Tunnel Vision (10). He's doing awesome with 21 sacks so far this season:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=949354Now I will admit, I'm playing at RDE and Stoplight is at LDE, so I'm up against LOT's w/ Protect and he isn't, but come on... ONE SACK? I agree... Blitz sucks and I'd go so far as to say Bort is wrong about it working. Either that or he doesn't know how his own game works. My DE is the proof in the pudding. He's playing in the minor leagues too. WHY is he not putting up big numbers? If Blitz is as good as people say it is, I expected better from it.
