It will be interesting to see how much or little O-Line play has changed but we probably won't get a good idea of that until they start dropping gameplay footage.

Rex did mention zone blocking so we'll see

I'm assuming one of those things is the return of defensive assignments. Since we had this sort of thing 13 years ago, my hope is that they've really blown that out and added depth to it. Being able to play certain receivers individually like NBA 2k has done with how you can play defense against certain players. There is a lot that can/should be done with something like that. Obviously I'm only speculating, but it is hopeful speculation.

Yes, also how you want to play them would be great, play press or off all game, maybe play inside or outside and have those be default for that match up unless you quick adjust out of it
