I was just thinking about this--with the "Blitz" SA--and I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried it. I might, if it hasn't been done before.
Anybody have a player link?

I tried and im willing to bet that a specialist cb has to be 4th on the DC inorder to be able to get after the QB...

i don't know what the point of this is... If you want to put pressure on a QB you use LBs and DL to blitz. CBs are supposed to cover and jam the WRs when teams blitz fullout. I don't see why you guys would want your CB just being a blitzer. It messes up the entire defense cause the SS and FS have to come help over top with the WR that isn't being covered, now causing mismatches or leaving a player Wide open. CB blitzes are only good if used once or twice a game. Not frequently.

Apprently someones never heard of Zone blitzing.

It wouldn't be bad either if you were a 3rd or 4th CB. As long as your DC knew what he was doing and your team has the right personnel like safeties and LB's that can cover, it could be successful IMO.

Problem is, there are no CBs that are built that way.
The game is even built for it, with a Blitz SA. If anyone builds a CB over level 10 that specializes in blitzing, I guarantee you a roster spot on one of my GMed teams. Shoot me a PM.

Yeah, I'd imagine an agressive, zone-based defence could make great use of a blitzing CB, especially if the OT has low agility, speed, or vision. A CB could easier sneak in and disrupt the pass if the situations good.

The new defensive tactics now make this a viable option, as you can choose to only blitz the right QB, and can cover him with a zone behind.

Exactly, now that you can control the blitzing and everything. I'd imagine you could really do some damage with this on some 3rd and long situations, bring the CB off the edge against a spread.

There are a fair number of KR/PR specialists and a Blitz specialist is not very far build-wise from that.
Returners pump speed, agility, vision and the Return SA. Within two levels, they could have the Blitz SA at 7. I'm sure most wouldn't mind as it'd be a great way to play more often.

What's the difference between Blitzing / Shutdown besides SAs? You don't need much tackling if playing on Wrap Up, even with the nerf (20). SAs don't do that much, so I don't see why it's a big deal.

Purely a guess, but I'd think you'd need to get your strength up a little a long with higher agility and maybe vision. But you are right, as the builds really wouldn't be too much different other than SA's.

I have heard of zone blitzing and it is stupid. Most 4-3 teams try to run zone blitzing schemes and it is very inefective. The only time it works is when the SS drops down and covers the WR tight close to the line of scrimmage, which completely defeats the purpose of "zone blitzing" cause teams usually run a 2 or 3 deep zone with the safeties playing deep zones and LBs covering the flats if they are not blitzing. If they play a 3 deep zone they have 1 essential CB blitzing leaving the other CB playing a deep zone along with the 2 safeties and it frees up the WR 7-9 yards from the line of scrimmage.
It is only helpful if ran once or twice a game, so you don't get beat and it catches the team off guard cause if you ran it 10-15 times a game teams will catch on and throw the quick little 7-9 passes and pick up easy first downs.
That is why you never hear of CBs in the NFL or NCAA specialized in blitzing. Maybe a JV or middle school team cause teams run the ball 90% of the time.

You're assuming that the AI in GLB is as advanced as the intelligence of real life players/coaches, Buckeyes.
I would love to see a CB who at least puts some effort into being a viable outside blitzer. I'd sign him up to my team any day.

I know that if a CB blitzes then that frees up a WR 7-9 yards unless a Safety is coming up and covering him. I know that in GLB if a WR is wide open between 7-9 yards the QB will throw it to him. I know that if a Safety comes up and plays man then it isn't considered a "zone" blitz. Therefore if they decide to do a 2 deep man zone, then that makes the FS and other CB playing 1/2s rather than 1/3s. Which is 100% pointless cause it frees up the other WR.
That is why blitzing CBs are pointless unless they are 4th string CBs that come in for 5 plays and blitz 2-3 times.
BTW, I love Ralphie.
