I'm just wondering if a "Missed Block" is a completely missed block. Is it possible that a very agile DL beats an OL cold and so not even a "Missed Block" is registered.

And so does this mean that a "Missed Block" actually means that the OL got a small piece of a DL but had little effect but not none at all?

right, we have basically 3 types of results for blocks

missed, blocked and pancake. So missed is consisting of "never had any chance" until "Damn, so close - but even not successful"

What is the functional difference between blocked and pancaked? The DL can still make a tackle if blocked, but not pancaked?

thats how i understand it Steve.

If pancaked, the defender will have to get off his a$$ to make a tackle.

That was sort of the point of my question.

I assume a block delays a DL for time x, a pancake for > x.

So my question was does even a missed block delay a DL for a duration < x and > 0

Also we get stuff like this -

1:48 2 and 4 to go on opp 31, Salim ben Mohamed Alouini (OC) snaps the ball to Javier Comstock (QB), who hands off to Emmitt Brantley (HB/R), this seems to be a run over the right guard, Ákos Jámbor (DE/L) breaks through, Dewayne Whiteside (TE/R) blocks, Emmitt Brantley (HB/R) tackled by Ákos Jámbor (DE/L), forward progress: tackle for loss of 1 yards (Pro set vs. 3-3-5)

So the DE was blocked but made the tackle for a loss anyway!

Im sure ive read Admin state that the TE will engage the DE but not stop the DE breaking through. More like change the route of the pass rush

Seems I need to change my TE's name to Wongside!

A pancake is quite similar to "take the blocked guy off the play", while "blocked" just means "interrupt his actions for short moments"

No, a pancake is quite similar to a waffle. Neither of those are close to der Berliner.
