Re: Defensive Coaching Clinic
I always admired crazy 3-4 techniques.
My style tends to be Dick LeBeau with a Jim Johnson attitude type of 3-4. (I'm a Cowboys fan, so the irony isn't lost on me) I adapted this style after NCAA 12 with 4 friends in an Online Dynasty in an attempt to 'show' chaos, but really be calculated and direct. Later down the road in Tradition Sports Online Dynasties, while I never had the best defense, I was at least a headache. Against the computer, it's mixed results, but I love the scheme so I stick with it through thick and thin. More than anything, what is necessary (if you're just playing--no coach mode,) is quick fingers. With the exception of a team going 5-wide, there will always be 4 minimum rushing the Quarterback. Down and distance plays a lot into my decision making, but I hot route generally 2 to 4 players per play. My DT is typically at a 0-technique. Everyone else is pretty much a wild-card. My favorite hot-routes might include a DE into a Flat or Hook zone (short side of the field,) an OLB playing QB Contain on that same side (but not to overlap the DE assignment) and a MLB filling that gap between them rushing at the QB. Cornerbacks and Safety's I typically don't play around with at all, the exception being on Deep Zones to play narrow or wide. CB Blitzes aren't really a thing for me, if my front 7 can't handle it, then I'm not recruiting correctly. In terms of player types, and I've been away from the game for about a month so this is all by the seat of my pants. DE - Pass Rusher, great speed preferable, zone coverage ability a bonus. -- After reading above, it's pretty easy to see why I'll do it this way. In many plays they'll be stepping back to essentially play OLB, and if they're great, might be on my 3-deep at that position. DT - Run Stopper, great tackling. OLB & MLB - I look for good tackling, but typically I'm recruiting speed. If you can't tackle, you can at least run their *** out-of-bounds, is the thought here. CB - Coverage FS - Coverage SS - Coverage All very simple. I tend to take oversized or slow SS and place them somewhere as a Linebacker. Typically I'm at a small school so position changes might be the only way to get a formidable team defensively. The one thing I do enjoy that I've mentioned before is controlled chaos with defense. Whether that's a Tampa 2 style 3-4 in certain situations, or press man with my safeties playing Flat Zones in short yardage situations. I want to be unpredictable (even though the computer knows,) and it usually works out for me. It also allows me to get beat regularly with great sliders, and that is something I strive for sim wise. |

Re: Defensive Coaching Clinic
my defensive scheme:
Base 4-3 (although currently experimenting with 3-4 in my dynasty) Player Types DT-RUN STOPPER. Large, "plug the hole" type of guys DE- PASS RUSHER. strong rushers on the edge, this is more important than the DT. I'd rather have two 85 ovr DE's and a 75 DT than the other way around MLB- BALANCED. moderate speed (80 is ideal), run stopper/rusher OLB- COVERAGE. SPEED based, coverage heavy CB/FS- "coverage" SPEED is top priority CORNERBACK is where I spend a lot of recruiting resources. If I don't have speed or good corners, I can't run man coverage. That would severely limit options. SS- "hard hitter" Since he tends to be more zone oriented/run support in a traditional defense, I don't mind him being a bit slower. If he's slower, I just avoid him being matched up with a WR. Scheme Base coverage is cover 3. I revert to this when I'm getting toasted, but ideally I can run man-to-man with blitzing on passing downs, IE 2nd and long or 3rd downs. I like to bring a lot of pressure in the passing game, and it serves me well. I seem to average 3-5 sacks a game depending on the QB abilities. I will often blitz a safety, even both if its 3rd and very long. I control a backer and tend to my zone or man as I should. If the team is known to air it out, or if they have a strong run/pass balance, I will essentially revert to nickel as my base for the game. My outside backers run the nickel/dime packages due to their speed in coverage. I usually have the #1 run defense in the nation (but really I'm sure most guys do). I've managed to be in the 30/126 range for passing defense, usually around 50th though. I think that's decent, since I force teams to the air for most of the game.
