This sounds like a question for the Q&A Thread,

Does a rusher have to be the "5th, 6th, etc." In order to be considered a blitzer? As far as SA's like Disguise Blitz, Spot Blitz, Blitz, and VA's like Fearsome go? The reason for the question is there is some belief that the Fearsome VA's wording was changed to specify that there had to be a 5th rusher in order to be considered a Blitzer.

Oh please cry moar

its basically a 4 man rush, wtf do you want to happen?

an insta sack everytime

FB is in blocking and the strength is probably not that high (and doesn't have a break block piece I am guessing)

You're wrong on at least one account, but I'm not at liberty to say which one(s). It's a good guess though; certainly true of most of the "weekend blitzers" we DCs used to use.

Nice sample size. 1 dot, 1 game = SA is broken.

No Spot Blitz, no blocking to speak off + a brand new OC.. That being said I think 3 sacks and 7 hurries are pretty good numbers for any dot rushing the passer as the 4th defender. Watching the game it'll seem like more than the stat line said, the dot definitely created a lot of pressure. If you want more sacks, consider sending more 4 dots tbh.

I disagree if you are using a HB that have Vision problem (ie the evil eye appears). RBs get a BLK discount when picking up blitzing dots, they should not get a VIS discount too.

WTF?! It isn't an invisibility cloak that makes sure nobody will ever see you coming no matter how long of a distance you are coming from?

Beats the other thread, which had zero dots and zero games. (http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=4902325)

That would be ideal, yes.

i thought disguise blitz meant like, the dot puts on a batman costume or a big nose with glasses and a mustache and blitzes in "disguise"

I'm not saying it's completely dead, as bigtisme pointed out. It just seems like it works a whole lot less than it did in the past. These are from the same game and look right:

But if Disguise Blitz fires, you don't really expect the block to be picked up by the player missing the vision check more than 50% of the time.

TBH, I always expected Disguise Blitz's most useful result should be confusing linemen long enough to get by them into the backfield.

Backs just have too long to (re)read the play
