I agree. FOB is more realistic to me. In addition, if o-line spacing is at least half a base apart then that makes for realistic holes in the line for both the running back AND linebacker to squeeze through. This is more conducive to FOB tackling then watching a locked scrum move up and down the field.

I am saying that a soundly trained team will get those FOB tackles.
