(RBK-FT) Run block footwork - how well a player can succeed in pushing a defender while run blocking. Scales the speed of initial moves at the snap.
(PBK-STR) Pass block strength - how well a player performs when the defender is performing power moves against him
(PBK-FT) Pass block footwork - how well a player performs when the defender is performing finesse moves against him. Scales the speed of initial moves at the snap

(PRESS) Press Rating - ability to maintain a press coverage around the line of scrimmage
(RELEASE) Release Rating - Ability to get around or beat press coverage
(SWG) Old Spice Swagger - The chance that a player will celebrate in the endzone

There you go, this was for M12 but still applies for the most part. The INT, PHY, etc, are GRADES, not ATR, they are a grade several attributes reflecting the player's ability in that category. They are also not ATR 1 ATR 2 and ATR 3, they vary based on position.

EA, has (and probably never will) not given an overly descriptive assessment of what attributes do. Anything more than the basics above, while not wrong (necesssarily) are only a guess by a user and should be taken as such. This particular user has definitely missed the mark on a few of their "descriptions".
