WLB Blitz (46 Heavy) lists wrong assignments
by dei1c3 @ 9/02/2016 4:17 pm
Here is the Assignments tab for WLB Blitz out of the 46 Heavy formation:



It's called WLB Blitz but the WLB is in man coverage?

The Diagram looks right:



I haven't used this play before so I don't know if it follows the diagram or the assignment.

.

I would imagine that the MLB and the WLB were switched wrong where the WLB should be doing what the MLB is doing awhile the MLB should be doing what the WLB is doing.

Actually, looking at the 46 Heavy formation in Depth Chart Overrides, it looks like the guy I circled is actually the RDE and SLB and WLB are both outside the LDE in this formation (the WLB is the farthest out). If that's the case, then the Assignments match the Diagram (i.e. WLB is in man coverage). However, it still makes for an odd play name when the WLB doesn't blitz.

JDB, can you confirm that the WLB is actually in man coverage (Man WR-4) or not?

Thanks.

Most likely that play should have been named MLB Blitz instead of WLB blitz. The 'assignments' tab is showing the data the engine is using.
