I have a bit of extra AP and decided to put Edge-Protector on both my tackles. I only did it because I thought it would simply make them block better, but I don't know if it helps with blocking or if it only counters pass-rush abilities.
Edge protector essentially counters the pass rushing boost from defensive abilities like edge threat and double or nothing. My understanding is that's all it does. So you won't notice a major difference if your opponent isn't using those abilities.
Not sure if it's the same this year but last year the unstoppable force xfactor could win over edge protector. Just something to keep in mind when using it.
it's worth is basically tied to how often you encounter opponents running those abilities/how scared of those abilities you are. Personally, I don't see them much so I don't use it.
