I've been noticing this play come up quite a lot now. The G pulls, and a LB gets through the gap for a TFL.

I'm trying to work out what the problem/s are so I can try and fix it. Some of the things I can think of:

- RB is too slow - we have only powerbacks, and are still lower level than most of the league, so they aren't up on speed and agility yet

- Who from the O-Line is supposed to pickup the gap? I've heard its the OT, but they're generally busy with a 1v1 block on the DE.

- Whats stats does the player picking the gap up need - I'd have thought it was Vision to see them coming, then Agility to get in the way.

The fullback is supposed to pick up the block...you need a FB that is faster than the HB though in order to successfully pull it off.

Ah, I hadn't realised that (I suspect this is one of those situations where knowledge of actual American Football would be handy). Thanks for your help.
