Anyone tried this? Or, related question, what's a better choice for the bonus SA?

Make sure your DC lines you up over the gap.

If you have other priority SAs set then BreakThru is a must for LDE (in my opinion) as LDE frequently gets doubled up by the HB/TE if not two OLs.

If you're RDE I really wouldn't bother as they are rarely doubled up in GLB. (Makes me wonder why since most Evasive rushers are RDEs)

That's exactly why. Elusive linemen are only dangerous when they beat their blockers around the edge, but power linemen are dangerous on every snap, because even if they don't break the block, they can push the pocket into the face of the QB. That's why DTs are double-teamed in the NFL, too, even if they don't have the speed to be a passrusher. Even if you have a Dwight Freeney-type dominant DE, teams only help the OT out if they routinely defeat them on every snap and even then, the most help they get is a chip with a TE or a HB

In real life NFL you want to maintain the middle of the field otherwise the QB's vision would be significantly hampered. I don't believe GLB has the same effect if a NT/DT collapses the pocket. Maybe it's something we can suggest Bort to add into the passing formula, thought I'm sure Bort won't do it.
