The commentary also has lines where Simms mentions that teams run off the "power tackle" on the right and the pass blocker is on the left... But the guys who are in charge of the gameplay have had the D's pass rush come from the D's left (opposite to RL) side forever... The sacks are generated by the LDE / LOLB / LDT...which is backwards...in the current system, the D's pass rushers line up against the O's run side... This year, they made some adjustments in the depth charts that moved some players into positions to reflect HOW THE GAMEPLAY ACTUALLY WORKS (or in this case, doesn't)... But, it's still a mess... Maybe instead of a STR blog, the ratings guys should look up the gameplay AND commentary guys (down the hall?) and FINALLY get all three on the same page where OL / DL interaction is concerned... Just a thought...

Makes me wonder, if they tuned defense from a different viewing angle? The same type of camera views, just from the defensive 3rd person perspective.
IDK, just throwing out some idears...
