A little birdy tells me you can see your opponent switch to a blocker

What?
If someone is going to "attack" all out where the blocker goes then the all out "attack" will be going to the wrong place.
Hardly pointless.

I think this would be great for a third and short or a fourth and inches type of play. Grab control of the FB and plow a lane knowing full well that you have control/influence on the entire play.

Yeah I know. This actually sounds like a good feature. Keeps the players honest. If you bluff enough the defense will stop going for it and then you spring it on them. The key is if the switching from the blocker to the QB is smooth enough for people to bother ever doing it. If not it could just become an INT or a sack each time since the camera change is messed up. Al ot things we will have to either find out oursleves or in the review.

You don't actually play as the lead blocker on a pass play - it just looks like you will.

It's not a big deal to me. It can't be worse than the run and pass glitch last year.
