How about a few different wrap tackles and the DB dive at your knee caps is also popular in the NFL.

the stiff arm were they pick the guy up and sling him over him like hes a coat on fire

You mean when they get beat and then decide to launch themselves in front of a defender basically from behind, forcing the defender to hurdle or sometimes even taking him down?

Yeah, I tend to think that was a band aid animation as a quick fix to soften the impact the appauling blocking AI had on the game. It goes without saying 10 needs to have its blocking system entirely reconstructed so hopefully it's toast too.

Yeah I think more wraps would solve a lot of that problem. I'd rather see a wrap that results in a bringdown than what we're getting now with all these blow ups.

As for the knee dives, I agree there needs to be more. There seems to be a very limited number of those right now. I also think the ballcarriers collision reactions and bracing-for-impact reactions need to be more varied. I'd like to see the ballcarrier lowering his head and making contact on some of these.

yeah those too but im also talking about when the offensive lineman's initial move is to low cut the defender and the defender just hurdles him and breaks for the qb

I think your talking about the hit 48 seconds into this video but if not I feel this is one that needs to either be reworked or removed if not already.

I agree big time with that face mask animation.
