He had 1 hurry the entire game. I'm sorry, but this is broken. If it were a lvl 26 HB going up against lvl 18 CPUs, you'd see 50 broken tackles and 300+ yards rushing.I have no problem with HBs being ahead of DEs at the level you are talking about. IRL, natural instincts are more important than technique to a HB, whereas it's just the opposite for a DE, imo. I've never known a great DE who didn't have awesome technique. Every single one of them could tell you exactly what they did and why they were successful beating a DT on way to sacking the QB. A HB could not tell you exactly what he did, just that he did it. "You can't teach" what HBs have, so to speak. HBs only get into their heads when they have to learn to block and pass protect. That's when you see them struggle. When a player is in his head, he's slow. Takes a while for tacit memory to develop. Lots of reps before becomes second nature.
