Weak Side Runs Too Easy?

[kpeercy]

Regardless of sliders or teams, I’m having too much success with weak side runs. For example, an inside zone to the weak side out of trips. This is true if I’m playing as Dallas with a good line or Cincy with a bad one. The play is blocked perfectly 9/10 times and I get 5 yards or more.

I have noticed this. It seems to me weak side runs work better because the blocking is better on the strong side. By which i mean the edge rusher is not constantly getting you from behind. The edge rusher on the weak side constantly blows up plays from behind when running to the strong side. For some reason the game is programed to make edge rushers the best run defenders as they just explode running at 1.2 40 speed around your end lineman. Sometimes it is the end, sometimes an olb and sometimes is a safety. Everytime i see a safety come down on a blitz to the opposite side i am running to i know i am screwed.
