The left stick does the work — turbo just gets you block shed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Turbo timing:\u003C\u002Fstrong> No turbo → No turbo → Make your cut with left stick → THEN turbo through the hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>Why this matters: Holding Right Trigger while cutting triggers block sheds faster. Your linemen lose their blocks. The hole closes. You get tackled for a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>Inside zones work best for this. Power O's and Inside Zone Splits give you multiple cutting options.
