Stopping the Run

I am getting absolutely shredded against the run. Outside, not so much. But am getting torn a new one, from tackle to tackle. Four man fronts. Three man fronts with insidle blitzes from LB's. Nothing seems to work. I'm playing with an A rated defense, and am getting violated to the tune of close to 7 ypc.

Please, anyone, help me stop (or at least somewhat contain) the run. Any and all tips and suggestions, would be appreciated.

Re: Stopping the Run

Are you playing on heisman difficulty? Probably need to turn the run defense and tackling sliders up

Make sure you shift your d-line to the strong side of the offense, and cover 3 (and similar zone plays) work really well against the run

Yeah, I play on heisman. I also pinch the d-line (post snap). Nothing really seems to work. The holes are gaping. It doesn't seem to matter the quality of the team I'm playing either.

Re: Stopping the Run

The play I call the most to stop the run is 4-3 over/under cover 1. I have my best linebacker be a QB spy do he can track te ball and I play as the deep safety. That way you can have up to 9 guys in the box of you want and can stop almost any run.

Re: Stopping the Run

Put your defensive line on aggressive this helps jump the snap.

Make sure your pinching your D-line.

If all else fails adjust your sliders.

Re: Stopping the Run

All of the suggestions above are good though I would add that what really helped me was blitzing like a mad man, if I feel like a run is coming I send my entire front 7 plus I'll control a safety an bring him up into the box

Re: Stopping the Run

Recruit better d lineman, not the goat boys you currently have.

If all else fails, hire Matt Foley motivational speaker.
