Is there anyway that DBs can actually get past and not blown up?

I understand that Out My Way helps with that.

Some otherwise solid cornerbacks don't have Out My Way, including MUT 25 Tribute Patrick Peterson. Golden Ticket Beanie Bishop Jr doesn't, although the other Golden Ticket cornerbacks do. On the other hand, All-Star Athletes Tony Gonzalez and Super Bowl Herb Adderley both do.

Appreciate the insight man, it's the first time that Ive played that setup and I've never felt so hopeless 😭

Reinforcement + Out My Way will help counter vanguard. Right now a lot of people are using safeties at CB since most of the newer safeties get reinforcement as an ability.

Vanguard is nerfed against:

  • Out of my way
  • Reinforcement
  • Run stuffer
     

You do NOT need to stack these, all of these abilities counter vanguard, and with so many players getting these abilities now vanguard will begin to die out.

I do have a question however: Do Out My Way  or the other Vanguard/Honorary Lineman/Nasty Streak-countering abilities trigger if the defender hasn’t achieved impact block speeds? Like if there is a sudden change of direction by a defender (as can happen following a lateral), does it expose the defender to getting pancaked despite the countering ability?

Update everyone Out of My Way does not work and reinforcement and run stuffer barely impact but does show up once in a awhile...vanguard is the meta and if you're getting hit with Wildcat plays and other runs beware
