I am starting to have some success with it on Heisman. Not enough that I'm comfortable, but some. I have completely stopped using slide protection on playaction, it just seems to confuse the blocking. I'm noticing I'm getting a little more time with this. If I see the fifth guy blitzing, I keep an extra blocker in. If six are coming then I'll call the PA of all together.

Also, you might want to consider the momentum of the game. Good ole "Mo" seems to be big this year. If the defense is flying all over the place and shutting you down and the d-line is getting off the ball and jumping the snap, then I'd stay away from PA. But I noticed that when I'm running the ball with success and mixing things up I've got more time in the pocket. I've even made it to my third read. Try to get a guy deep and one short for a dump-off.

I don't have the formula down to make it work yet, but those are some of my observations.
