Exactly the point. From what I see RZA isn't broken as for safe blitz. It is simming what would/could happen.

As for which safety - they both are used in blitzes at times to confuse and disguise. And sometimes they work, sometimes they fail and sometimes the offense can make a huge play from it. AND when a FS blitzes the SS will drop in basically a cover 1 in place of the FS BUT the SS normally isn't as good at pass coverage as a FS. It's a risk trying to make a big play that sometimes costs a big play.

I will say we should have the ability to choose if an OLB, MLB, FS or Ss blitzes. It is too general/vague/random and THAT is kind of what could be "fixed".

This ...

Its like Green Bay packers sending Joe Thomas (a coverage nickle linebacker) on a blitz as often as they would do Clay Mathews. Sure you might do it occasionally to catch them by surprise but not have it just as likely.

Of course if a team always blitzes its OLB then as an offense, you know where you want to be running the ball don't you so choosing the position isn't darkwing.

It'd be good if the game allowed you to utilise more specialist players like blitz packages, 3rd down running backs etc
