LMFAO! That's such a true statement. They will only help us to an extent.

My CB posted another Forced Fumble(1 on a HB, 1 on a WR) with my LB's production dwindling on the Right side.

The two previous games my tackling focus was on forcing fumbles. I had two missed tackles in each of those games and had no forced fumbles. This last game I went back to wrap-up and didn't miss a tackle and had three forced fumbles. So I'm beginning to think it's just one of those random things that happen.

From Bort's recent posts it looks like power tackling will be getting a boost next season which should improve SAs like Monster Hit.

Right now, high speed guys (with some str) seem to be forcing the most fumbles. Bort described it as a "momentum" issue - something like "you will see some fumbles if a 60 speed CB hits a 60 speed WR at full speed".

I also think it's easier on lower levels (why many people say "I had 6 FF last season and none this season"). Early on, RBs are all speed/agil or speed/str. It's not until most hit level 15 that they start looking at getting carrying in the mid 20s+.

Great post man! I 100% agree with this. I've come to the conclusion that a mixture of SPD, STR, and TCKL all factor in to forcing a fumble. I mean think about it. The more velocity and power you have behind a hit the more chance the ball carrier is going to caugh it up.

For some fumbles, yes, how fast you run into the person will contribute to making the ball 'pop' out. Some fumbles are caused by stripping the ball though, and those have absoultely nothing to do with how fast anyone is moving. It is mostly strenght that is needed to rip the ball out of someones hands while you drag them down. Other times a fumble is caused when someone punches the ball out of the carriers hands. Both would require a bit of vision since you need to know where the ball is if you want to try and pry or knock it loose. You would also need a little quickness (aglility?) in order to make a play on the ball before a knee hits the ground or it's not a fumble. I agree though that in the world of GLB, most of this is not taken into consideration. It seems like the 'pop out' fumbles are the most frequent type, which seem more dependent on speed then anything else.
