Hi,

I was thinking to go

Pass Rusher
Fearsome
Intimidation

But with the changes to Fearsome, it just don't seem that atractive anymore.

So any inputs will be very appreciated.

Thank you

Fearsome.... no
Intimidation.... maybe if corresponding SA's are high
Pass Rusher.... decent, but Clutch looks better to me, unless he blitzes on EVERY third down

OK guys, time to restart this question. Pass Rusher bites. ROLB pass blitzing bites this season. I've had much greater success blitzing against the run so far, and can barely get a hurry, let alone a sack. 3rd and 4th down passes are also highly situational and often take the ROLB off the field anyways. Other than that useless VAs, ROLB blitzers have a real dearth of good VAs

My SAs aren't high enough for Intimidation (2 snarl, 4 aura, 2 trash talk, 3 glare) and Fearsome apparently sucks now (I also don't have the fame for it), so what now? I'm thinking Red Zone Freak, Streaky, Sure Tackler, maybe even Intimidation since I at least have all four SAs, but then morale seems pointless anyways. I don't have the tackling to not use wrap-up, so Power Tackler is out. Maybe I should just go ahead and take stat VAs? Maybe Big Heart since my team got promoted and will struggle? I'm at a loss. Ideas?

I have the same problem. My first game this season was just a hurry and 3 tackles, albeit all for a loss. There simply isn't much a ROLB can do against the pass except coverage, which I really do not fall into often.

I'd be stacking Fearsome if I thought that it worked. However, with most QBs in my league having a ton of Confidence now, it's almost impractical for them to feel hurry pressure, especially if it doesn't show up on the replay. Big heart, I've heard of the "exploit," so I guess if you guys were going to get pounded it'd be good.

37 vet points and nothing to spend it on...sigh.
