Very good point, man, good video. I do think that the animation speed did need to be addressed, but you are addressing the other aspect that leads to the problem.

Quite honestly, I have a huge issue with the new FB Dive animation. That's a quick hitter play. The Fullback should fire off full speed, and the QB should make a very quick turn and hand off the ball almost where he took the snap. Not the super-speed turn around he had in '09, but he shouldn't be making a full turn... a half turn and hold the ball out for the FB to take it running into the line.

The play is designed to pick up 2 yards purely by beating the defense to the punch.
