I was thinking about something along these lines earlier. What I think they should do is rather than just having the 4 adjustments with slide protection give us at least 12, one with each direction on each stick and the directional buttons and you could include the other buttons as well to add more or include 8 per stick like 2k does with hot routes, but at least 12 adjustments you could make and maybe allow us to set up before the game what those 12 are but you could easily have a protection scheme allowing you to double team any one of the dlinemen or if you are keeping a back in then any 2 if you only predict they are rushing 4 and you could have enough options to leave the extra blocker or blockers in the way of wherever you thought the blitz or extra pressure was going to come from. Also along with this some of these protections could automatically include keeping a back or TE in to block or atleast telling them to chip a rusher before they run their route. There also need to be way more chip routes for backs an TEs where they block if there is pressure then slip out to be a dumpoff type option after a second or two. This would help picking up blitzes, possibly slow down the overuse of the flat, and really bring value to 3rd down backs who can pass protect.
