This would not do away with slide protect, just give people an alternative if someone is trying to stack 2 separate parts of the o-line. Example: you could slide your protection right, but double team a blitzer coming from the left. This wouldnt create an unbeatable offensive line either, just give people a better chance to pick up heat on 3rd and 15. Blown blocking assignments could still happen though too lol....

Not to dissuade you, because I think it's a good idea... BUT:
I should have asked how would this be better than Slide Protection AND blocking Hot Routes? Reason being, I haven't had any trouble picking up 3rd & 15 against the nastiest nanos...
Often, sliding protection is enough to buy a little time, but assigning a FB and HB to pick up blitzes gets the heat off assuming I pick the correct direction for the back to block (usually FB to strong side, HB to pickup weak side from the I). Simply mixing formations that are blitz killers with a blocking adjustment is enough to pick up ANY blitz even without slide protection.
So I guess my question is really... WHY would we need this idea?
Fact is, if someone rushes 6 vs 5, the QB is gonna get hit. So how would the backs be affected by the individual line calls? Or would they?
Not nit-picking (or maybe I am) for the sake of nit-picking... Just wanna refine the idea.
