Thanks for all the comments, it is very helpfull :)
So how do you value the play you actually get on field? Do you look at the tackle allowed stat (is this stat usefull?) or use another method?
Yes and no. Anytime a guy engages and or has his defender make a tackle is when the stat is recorded. So a pass to the wr1 for a 3 yard gain where the LDE makes the tackle will have the RT or RG get credit for allowing a tackle.
Same as well if the wr2 blocks the cb2 but the CB2 makes the tackle 40 yards downfield. Bothe are tackles allowed. But when does it matter to you.
I had garbage DT make 12 tackles for loss in one game. Most in the 4th quarter due to we were losing and they were running up the middle. Play overuse keys and just the fact that one team may always run one way is what really drives stats here.
I look at a teams scouting page and look at what plays they run and put plays in to counter those plays. Not that talent doesn’t matter but oline is so exploited under 4.5.... well unless your opponent knows how to stop it. Then it functions like Seth and smirt said .... as you will see it as the way when you face them.
I largely ignore oline under 4.5 but I don’t win championships either. Well except pass blocking and then size then strength then athletic abilities. It almost the opposite of these guys. But with the use of no rules my best bets(In tougher leagues) is the playoffs anyways
