This is great news, something I've been looking for for a while. But I'm still trying to find info on actual QB pitches...One of my biggest frustrations has been when you're hitting a QB or even have him wrapped up, he can still get off a perfect pitch with no consequence.

This post by Russell is the first I'd heard on anything option pitch related, but has anybody seen or come across anything else?

Will the bull rush move work this year?

I thought I saw an offensive line double team in one video (FL vs FSU from a while back - Tebow running some sort of Jet Option).

This hasn't really been discussed very much but it seems like a big thing to me. I'm still last-gen and I don't think I ever saw double-teams in 09, so if they had them in this-gen 09, tell me.

If it's possible to do this, I would think it would open up all sorts of possibilities for "smarter" line play - like, maybe, giving you a real read on zone read.
But that's already been denied: in one of those blog videos, dude said "no, you won't actually see an unblocked defensive end..."

So I'm still just curious as to how that's not possible.
Is it really just about over-speeded defensive players?

In yesterday's SS video, I did see the QB stroll out of the pocket and stand to the side, while the pocket was still going on in the middle. I hope that's not going to be a problem with the retail build.

I noticed that, too...it looked like the rushing DE was completely oblivious to the fact that the qb had strolled out of the pocket. I'm getting the sense from these early videos that Tiburon put in a pocket in name only.

Russ,
Thanks for the list, and taking the time to join us. I can't wait to hear more about the game!

I have a feeling 99% of the focus was put towards Madden this year. NCAA 10 will pretty much be the same game we have been playing for a while now.

Glad to know Pass Blocking is fixed
