My Bend But Don't Break D

[The_Rick_14]

I don't play online a lot but in the little that I have what I've realized that the roughly 80% of the time, you're going to see your opponents money plays in the first quarter, then you just have to adjust to stop/slow it down.

Most people will get frustrated if they have to put a drive together.

The last game I played, the guy exclusively ran the read option and HB screen so I set my defense to chase the HB on the read option, went cover 2, audibled by DLine to contain and controlled the safety to the HB side so I could crash down on the option play and hold the QB to a few yard gain.

There's no one magic formula for defense. You have to observe and adjust.

What difficulty are you using? Are you using any custom sliders in your dynasty?

I'm playing on default All-American/All-American. Again, I play coach mode so it's not me making the plays but having the way I call my plays put my guys in the position to make the plays.

Do you play mostly man or zone defense? I assume you play man since zone defense seems broken again.

It depends. Most times if I'm facing 3 WRs or more I'm in straight zone or zone blitzing. I typically run man against 2 WRs or less.

So do you think that zone defense works fine this year?

I've got no complaints with what I've seen thus far. At first I was miffed but now that I've switched up my play calling the pass defense and defense in general seems much more reasonable. Maybe we just need to change the way we've always done it to doing it a different way. Not sure...

What offense do you run? That's the last thing I need to decide on before I start my dynasty? There are so many I want to try out. A lot of time I base my dynasty decisions on which offense I want to run.
