With the AI, its also possible to blitz a CB in man coverage, if you simply put another CB on the field. Whats the difference between blitzing a Linebacker when there are 2 LBs on the field and blitzing a Corner when there is 1 LB on the field?

I would love to see a CB who at least puts some effort into being a viable outside blitzer. I'd sign him up to my team any day.
I know that if a CB blitzes then that frees up a WR 7-9 yards unless a Safety is coming up and covering him. I know that in GLB if a WR is wide open between 7-9 yards the QB will throw it to him. I know that if a Safety comes up and plays man then it isn't considered a "zone" blitz. Therefore if they decide to do a 2 deep man zone, then that makes the FS and other CB playing 1/2s rather than 1/3s. Which is 100% pointless cause it frees up the other WR.
That is why blitzing CBs are pointless unless they are 4th string CBs that come in for 5 plays and blitz 2-3 times.
BTW, I love Ralphie.
Or you could blitz the number three CB and play cover 0. Then the FS comes and plays the WR. I believe that most starting FS's can stick with a number 3 WR long enough for the defense to get pressure

What's the difference between Blitzing / Shutdown besides SAs? You don't need much tackling if playing on Wrap Up, even with the nerf (20). SAs don't do that much, so I don't see why it's a big deal.
how do you know what the nerf is for tackling?

The Blitz SA actually gives boosts to a bunch of stats when blitzing. Who knows? It could be a ridiculous bonus with Bort assuming it wouldn't be used too much.

that defeats the purpose of "zone blitzing" I am just stating a fact that CBs that are specialized in blitzing is 100% pointless. Ya, with the new AI you can set certain CBs to blitz at certain times, but they wouldn't be on the field that much. Maybe getting 10 plays or so a game. Unless you are planning on a starting CB to be a blitzing CB, then that would be the stupidest thing in the world.
You guys have to look at the realistic side of blitzing CBs:
-You can't be blitzing a CB 15-20 times a game or else your team would get picked a part
-You can't expect a FS to cover a #3 WR while your nickel CB is blitzing. What if the slot receiver does a underneath route, like a drag and the FS can't get to him. That would tear apart your defense.
-You can't run a "zone blitzing" scheme with your safeties covering Man-2-Man
-If you want to try to have your Safeties Man-2-Man matched up with a WR, and your LBs and CBs running zones then a straight fly would be a TD everytime
-You aren't going to get much pressure from a blitzing CB. Sure they are fast, but once they get picked up by an OT, RB, or FB, they will be flattened.
-It will be innefective against the pass
etc...

But you ignore this:
What if you put 4 CBs on the field vs. 3 WRs? You lose some support vs. the run when you lose the LB, but if you have the guy set for a finesse rush and he's talented, its possible for him to put on some pressure. If you want to blitz the CB, its something that can take advantage of a low-vision Tackle.

A blitzing CB would be pretty sweet on special teams on both sides: tackling and returning
Of course, you'd have to at least train carrying for a little bit but still wouldn't be THAT bad at covering. The only thing a coverage CB would have over a blitzing CB would be jumping and SAs. They could even have the same jumping if you don't put points into carrying and they don't return kicks/punts.
I think that the coverage SAs are pretty sweet though
