It's freaking July and people are posting a 1 month card for nearly 3 million coins and 1.5 for a centre and FB. Like come on people. EA needs to release a pack with better odds. 34% chance..34% chance at a Golden ticket! Why it's not 50% is puzzling.

100% was trying to conjure up Relentless, thank you AGAIN.  Now revised my prior comment.  Seriously appreciate when folks correct the many, many mistakes I make, be it with poor terminology, simple oversight or lack of knowledge and understanding of this buggy ass game that we all want to love.

Thanks for taking the time to detail your current defensive / pass rush setup.  I've got that 99 BND FAP pack waiting to choose someone, but hasn't been a pressing need.  So there it sits.

You have no idea how much i adore your fun fact.  I might be looking in a mirror.  I grew up with my entire bedroom plastered with various Air Jordan posters, but my brother was a huge Spurs fan, because of The Admiral.  I still remember him getting those David Robinson Air Force pumps in the early Nineties... that seemed to go halfway up your calf.  Don't think he ever got an autograph, though.  Awesome story.

PLEASE, for my own sake and for that of the community at large, continue to correct my confusions/delusions.  I am wildly enthusiastic about this game, but hardly an expert.  Appreciate when the big brains such as yourself take me to school on a range of topics.  Happy weekend, my guy.  Keep up the excellent work.

Thank you for correcting my poor terminology.  For a while, I was using Relentless on Aaron Donald, which paired nicely with DoN, always keeping him at max pass rush points.  All your information is so spot-on correct, basically detailing my exact experiences.

Most of my pressures are coming from quick A-gap blitzes (using mostly 3-3 Odd lately), or the B-gap from overloading the weak side in 3-3 Cub or simple disengage when rushing with four down linemen sets.  I was only interested in Defensive Rally again all of a sudden due to the overwhelming amount of ability options we now have.  Who do you prefer as your primary pass rushers?  I've got Aidan Hutchinson (LE), Mario Williams (DT1), John Randle (DT2) and Jevon Kearse (RE) with Junior Seau & Dave Robinson (although i keep confusing him with the Spurs center and i want to continually call him "David" heh) as my outside linebackers.  Of course Caleb Jones as my primary USER.

I also bring in Ray Nitschke in the rare event i need to run 3-4 Odd, this is how i try to defend against the heavy run formations.  Good to know there is some tangible benefit to stacking Defensive Rally.

Holy crap this is an ancient post, but first time I'm seeing it and THANK YOU for taking the time to provide such a detailed and well-written report of your Defensive Rally testing scenarios.  I learned a whole heck of a lot from this, had absolutely no idea that DR could stack and provide additional pass rush points.  This could be super interesting when paired with stuff liek Bull Rush or Double or Nothing, which can help guarantee superwins.

Why am I even running a theme team anymore?

Time for me to run Double or Nothing, El Toro, and Interior Threat/Edge Threat Elite on Kearse, Sapp, Davis, and Turner for 0 AP. I only need four Defensive Rally abilities, which everyone but Sapp can equip for 0 AP. I'll add Fiske later if a 5-2 becomes useful, but I can run 4-3 Over or Under with Robinson and Oweh. All of the defensive backs have Universal Coverage. I'll just man the middle linebacker to my opponent's runningback, run zone, pass commit, and user random linemen.

There are probably people already doing this, and I'm late to the game.
