I got Cruz now that hes down in price a bit
I have Vanguard on him, but I notice instead of pancake/trucking DBs on blocks, he will try to grab and hold the DB, so I wont get a pancake
Is there a setting that I can turn on all blockers to attempt impact blocks?
Well, he's 204 elbows, it makes sense.
But to answer your question I don't know.
No its simply due to his size im 90% sure. Crumpler at wr dominates pancake blocks but hes 275lbs if i recall.

Weight seems to matter an awful lot in blocking calculations this year perhaps as much as ~30% of determination of final outcome. Of course other things matter, as well... STR, RBK, IBL, etc.
Plaxico at 232 lbs with max stats does an okay job blocking with Honorary Lineman, but that's hardly a fair comparison.
Vita Vea TE is a monster blocker pancakes everyone in sight but gets bullied off his routes too easily or I would have kept him. I have noticed Cruz doesn’t pancake everyone but he does enough with Harrison Jr, Lamb, Kelce, and Crumpler to help out along with my stellar line im pretty happy. Thats why im glad I have a shifty Jamaal Charles who can juke like crazy.
I believe certain plays do not pancake. It might be a specific RPO or play type. He should get animations but it seems to be the play type. Even when I had a Vanguard TE at WR sometimes it didnt activate.
Also the defense players with Out My Way or reinforcement do not get pancaked.
