True, the nice part is that Disturbing Presence is great for marking a receiver even before I get Side Step, as it will still work when they blitz free the receiver (even on a knock-down). However, I wonder if Side Step isn't simply a better skill than DP. Other uses for DP would be to block a thrower's intended path. Not sure how often that would come up.

I'm not a fan of VLL in general, would rather wait until I roll +AG on a Gutter Runner and follow that up with Leap

Two Heads is nice because it is universally useful - every GR will be doing a bunch of Dodges every game. I just felt that the hardest part in recovering a ball is often the pick-up attempt in multiple tackle zones. Usually I would try to push somebody on the ball and hope for a favourable bounce. Having a Big Hand GR in such a case would mean a much safer means of retrieving the ball.
Do you take the risk to hand-off to them mid-pitch? My Kicker rat died last game, now I'm left with five unskilled Linerats, snif. I guess I should be less risk-averse and feed them more TDs.
I will give them completions/TDs where possible but at the moment they're out-cas'ing my blitzers (stupid claw blitzer has done nothing since getting the claw).
