Switching from Relentless to Run Stuffer

I had been running Relentless on almost all my defensive lineman and hadn’t noticed a difference at all. Not to mention the Faalele + endless Vanguard combination was always killing me whenever I faced it. Having switched from Relentless to Run Stuffer I’m really noticing a difference in the run game. I’ve had multiple times where my defensive ends put my opponents tackles on their asses and completely blow up run plays, and my defensive tackles aren’t letting running backs untouched through the middle anymore. I also loaded up on Defensive Rallies to somewhat replace the Relentless. I highly recommend this for anyone struggling in h2h.

👍 Great advice

Run stopper ability is basically half Relentless this way on run plays you don't use any shed points, you'll always be loaded for pass plays when shed points are more important anyway.

What about Run Stopper and  Run Stuffer?

Has your pass rush suffered?

The post above says run stopper doesn't use points. So run stuffer .would in theory be pointless.

Is run stopper better than having inside stuff and no outsiders? Besides not using points?

No, but I also didn’t really notice an improved pass rush with Relentless. My Defensive Rallies have been holding it down. I almost never run out of pass rush points because every 3rd down all my lineman have full points.

See, where I find that Relentless shines is when my opponent converts for successive first downs on first or second down, so that Defensive Rally never kicks in, and now I can’t get home for the rest of the drive.

Run stopper is an ability that doesn't use rush points on any run. 

Run stuffer is an xfactor that shed blocks on runs to replace inside/ outside stuff. 

You can combine both since they provide different benefits. 

I was just calling out that the person was giving up Relentless but can replace it with run stopper as an ability to at  least maintain half the value by not using rush points on run plays.
