Where are the line stunts?

Kudos to EA for stopping a lot of the blitz cheese that has been ruing the game thus far this year. I guess now the meta is manual blitzing in gaps, which I'm kind of OK with, other than that user defenders move at supernatural speeds.  If you've watched the Cowboys the past 3 years, and especially last night against the Giants, you will see that they overload or confuse by stunting linemen and running LB's behind (or around). They rarely run a vanilla 5 man blitz. If they send 5, linemen are always stunting. The Cowboys defensive playbook in Madden looks nothing like the Cowboys playbook in real life.  Are there any plays in madden where linemen stunt at all? I haven't found one. Anyone found a way to have a tackle and end flip or stunt at the snap? I think there are a few formations where the DE's are not locked, and usering one and fanning the other might achieve something similar. Food for thought.

There's no twists or stunts because they can't get the blocking logic correct to begin with. APF2K8 had stunts/twists/etc and had the logic correct. EA should have bought the code and reverse engineered it.
