Ahh... so nice hearing other people ask the same questions that are on my mind!!

I love the zone blitz... but I REALLY want to see it adjusted to take up some of that cushion off the line.

No help from the safeties who are focusing on the run. Thats why they play off. Otherwise a lot of those 5-7 yard outs would be 70 yarders to the house.
