Why doesnt the RB help pass protect?

[novadolla]

Blocking the running back is useless, he just stands there while the blitzer runs past him for an easy sack. I hate this game, but love football, so i cant just not play it, sigh

Eh, I've seen him pick up blocks. I've seen the rb get wrecked on a block too. Like the pass rusher ran up, knocked them down (violently) and then sack me. Sometimes they miss blocks but in general I've seen them at least try.

That's cuz Zeke is the best RB blocker in football

Lol yes he is, but I play CFM with the Dolphins and don't have Drake anymore. I've seen Thomas Rawls get destroyed, and Ballage (the rookie rb) have good blocks

I always send him out...to me he's more useful as a safety valve for a quick dump than as a blocker lol

OP...which back is it? Consider, plenty of back really are not great at blocking.

A HB's ability to recognize and pick up blitzes is tied to the unit awareness of the line on passing plays. Guys with low awareness are going to struggle to pick up blitzes.

They also need to be on the correct side of the formation to pick up the blitz. You can motion backs to each side of you in shotgun this year when not in a run play

Little devonta freeman constantly levels would be pass rushers for me. U can help them block better for u if u move a little in the pocket forcing the pass rusher into them. I see the occasional oles from him as well, but that’s to be expected. Overall, I have no issues with how the RBs block and often audible to keeping a rb in to block to give me 1 extra second. It works more often than not for me.
