It would be nice to have an slider regarding tackle pursuit similar to the aggression slider.
Or perhaps an inside outside slider to favor rushing to the middle or watching the outside run.
Dunno exactly the best way to phrase it, but this play here is an example of what needs to be fixed. Note the ROLB. He is out on the edge of the line, precisely to guard against off tackle runs.
Yet as soon as the ball is hiked he rushes to the middle of the line, leaving his assigned position open and accomplishing nothing.
And the runner dashes right through where he was for a big gain.

Infuriating. And it happens constantly (just a play or two before this one same thing on the right side).
How far out or back do you have to have a defender before he contains the frakking run instead of dog piling like a moran?
I would suggest a slider that delays how quickly the tackler decides where to intercept the runner. the better to guage where the runner is actually going. The further to delay the longer the wait, the further the other way the quicker the initiation of pursuit movement. The up and downsides are self apparent.
What ya think?
