Best abilities for lineman

With all the meta blitzes i barely have time to release the ball before im getting sacked.Are you guys using secure protector ,pass protector or something else to buy some time for my 99 spd wrs to get open.Im using Poe at QB with his quick relese to no avail.Thoughts?

In a perfect world, we'd have Secure Protector (x5) across the entire OL.  For the time being, i'm trying to get the most value out of our ability points, so i take whatever is best/cheapest.  Meaning, i'm looking for the combination of All Day + Pass Protector, for as little as possible (0-1AP max).  Bonus points for having Post Up on either the Center, or both Guards.

Here's my current lineup, using one of the Team Captains, but just discovered that Jeff Saturday also gets 1AP Secure Pro.  But yes, pass blocking abilities are almost a requirement to play online these days.  Even then, the Unstoppable Forces coming from both edges will devour us, this hopefully buys me more than 2-3 seconds to get rid of the ball, but i typically plan on getting it out QUICK.

Run and Gun X-factor on Poe is a nice touch, we can scurry away from the pressure and try to heave up a prayer to a breaking receiver, which is typically an absolute (perfect blue) dot.

I just noticed Joe Staley gets edge protector  and secure protector  for 1 ap apiece.

Staley is currently my only OL who does not have All Day, just using the 1AP Secure Protector stack on him... which i believe to be the combination of Pass Protector + Run Protector.  Kyle Long is a near perfect OG at this time of year, he gets a fantastic 0AP stack.

Post Up on two guards right now is super effective against all the guys sending three with Unstoppable Force/Colossus out of dime.  Other than that going for the cheapest Secure Protector (or Edge Protector on tackles) and All Day possible.
