Right now it is kind of difficult for LBs to get sacks, as holes just don't open very well in the o-line like they have in the past seasons.

Str to get off block quicker plus some point in Shred Block SA,but LB blitzing is not very effective it's mostly depend on the DC weahter he's going to blitz you or not and most of the time LB get sack by running directly through the hole.

Get blitzing d.ends in front of you to take up space...

Wrong. Get big strong linemen in front of you to eat up blockers and demand double teams.

Good luck in those center lanes at the los. Not often in higher levels that a backer busts through the middle for the sack that way. Works decent against run blocking to bring down the runner though.

Outside behind the ends is best.

Even still, whether it be DE's on the outside or DT's in middle, the more blockers they command the more space your LB has to work with.

Yep.
Lane control at the line on passing plays in this game is kooky though.
Now if they throw in smart blitz delays instead of relying on Vision reads, I'd be more inclined to agree with you about the inside on the backer rush.

Oh no I'm not talking about inside rushing, sorry I should have been more clear. I'm saying that in general if you want sacks from LB's, a lineman's strength is more valuable than their Speed/Agility. Can we agree on that? And yeah, I would love to see some delayed blitzes and LB's "showing blitz" sometimes to confuse the offense.

Potato/Potahto
Ends/Tackles

I'll agree that we are both saying the same thing, just the focus on how to get there is by different means...

Get defensive rush players in front of you and run like hell around them
