Hijacking the thread... just saw RayXXX describing a funny move:

Basically he has a DElf Runner with the ball right next to his End Zone. Game is 1-1. 16th turn of the woodies. Woodies put a lineman next to him to give assist. When the wardancer comes to blitz him he chooses "dump-off". Its too risky to send it to the midfield. So he "passes" to the woodie lineman who can't move anymore ! Lineman with his good Agi catches it... game over !

Lol, that was really sneaky! Another use for DO that I had not realized. You could actually consider it not only for a turn 16 issue but for any situation for which you have no players nearby. At least you know the ball would not be moving at all before your next turn.

But he could score... he was close to his own end zone. But at other times that might be good yes.

Ok, that was a really awesome use of dump-off. Gotta think about it in terms of tactics.

Nice. Something to keep in mind, especially if you have Nerves of Steel.

It'll be rare to have such a perfect use come up, but often I find myself with a vulnerable Runner holding the ball when I extract it from a scrum. Typically opponents will mark potential receivers so it can be risky to throw to them, but throwing to an opposing AG 4 player who's already moved could be pretty sneaky!

Then again, you can use a reroll on the catch, so generally it'll be better to pass to a receiver in single coverage.
