Explain why I was able to gain 165 yds rushing on Sgibs with the Raiders vs Raiders? Raiders have a poor OL but great DL.. You can watch the blocking.. They hold up their blocks easily..
Raiders dont have a great dline...its good, but not great..
Power Moves/Finesse Moves AND SPEED is what a DL is all about..
This is the DL that Sgibs usually runs..
Groves: 83 spd, 91 acc, 84 FMV
Seymour: 68 spd, 79 acc 94 PMV..
Scott: 79 spd, 86 acc 86 FMV
Wimbley: 79 spd, 93 acc 89 PMV, 95 FMV [97 OVR AT DE]
89.75 Power/Finesse Move
77.25 Speed
87.25 Acceleration
Kindle: 82 spd, 95 acc, 92 FMV
Ngata: 67 spd, 78 acc, 98 PMV
Cody: 42 spd, 70 acc, 89 PMV
Suggs: 85 spd, 95 acc, 91 PMV, 98 FMV
94.25 Power/Finesse Move
69 Speed
84.5 Acceleration
[Gregg is also available.. I would put Cody there because he has 7 more PMV.. he's slower, but Gregg & Cody are both under 50 spd.. which is bad.]
The DL is all about power move, finesse move, and speed. DTs are not so much about speed, but when you get speeds that are in the 40s.. you will have times where you slip the guard but can't tackle the RB because of how slow you are..
I don't get this talk about how the Raiders have just a "good" DL..
I did an average of the 4 starters Sgibs used in the game.. I took the highest of what they are the best at.. because they can't do a finesse and power move at the same time.. [in M11 at least..]
There was a 4.5 difference in power/finesse moves.. Advantage: Ravens
There was an 8.25 difference in speed. Advantage: Raiders
Speed is a huge deal when it comes to the run game because mere inches determine whether or not it's a 1 yd loss or an 80 yd TD.. if your right DE can't get over there quick enough.. or if your DE forces the RB to the inside, but your DT can't catch the RB and misses by a foot..
Ravens definitely are a better DL by finesse/power moves.. but if you factor in speed.. that would still make the Raiders a great DL.. Not better than the Ravens, but they are still "great."
When you have basically an average of 90 power move between your 40 starters.. you are a great line..
