    Thanks for the tips!

    Not to be negative but Phil Simms is the worst, to put in time on a game and neglect the commentary so badly is frustrating… ” it’s better to lead than to not be in the lead”

    Can’t see where this timing indicator is for defensive line moves. When is the timing I need to get easier power moves and block sheds?

    I have been looking everywhere and I was hoping to find it here, but does anyone know which team is best to pick when you are creating a career as the half back? I have picked the panthers. But i want to know which team has a good playbook and good rush blocking for the half back..

    Thanks for any info that you all can provide!
