O line footwork targeting needs to be tuned
I've labbed hundreds of snaps this past week since early release launch with the best and worst o lines and the issue is across the board... Guys look completely lost out there. Barely getting hands...

Half the time I feel like my O Line isnt going to block anything. I dunno. It seems off to me.
Their footwork is bad. Especially on outside zone runs.
Instead of "bucket stepping" out of their stance...their running "parallel"...giving up all leverage and momentum to down lineman in front of them.
When they double team tag, their not "stabbing with one arm" climbing to the 2nd level while the backside overtakes. And lastly, they almost NEVER cut off the backside properly.
So in short, the front side isn't getting walled off due to bad footwork out of their stance and the backside isn't getting cut off since they're rarely getting to the 2nd level.
All in all...the play rarely works.
Only requires a simple patch. Just surprised that it's made it this far. An update similar to the one college football got should do the trick.
