Strength: 75

Above is a hypothetical DE. Should he use combo or elusive blitzing?

Strength: 70
Agility: 80
Speed: 75

How about this one?


I just don't get when to use what. Combo blocking just seems dumb since linemen are going to have better strength than a DE nearly always.

combo just randomly picks either bull rush or evasive. it's not really a mix of the two styles. ie on any given play you're using either 100% bull rush or 100% evasive.

Right. Which is why I think combo is dumb.

Is anyone getting better luck with combo?

Bullrushing (50% of combo) has it's uses. Not to get sacks, but to help others get sacks (evasive may pull that LOT back into a blitzing ROLBs or CBs lane) and to help keep certain holes from opening up vs. the run
