Lead block with your linemen and TE's. You'll thank me.

Also, if it's an obvious running situation. Like 1st and 10 with a running team. Motion your TE's to the side that you are running towards.

with that being said i was wondering if anynoe has any tips for running the football?

i have about 350 yards with Jamal Lewis, but i'm only averaging 3.0 yards per carry?

any tips on how to avg 4???

thanks...
Where to start…

Always utilize line protection when running the football.

If it is an inside handoff, utilize the aggressive line protection. If it is a pitch, or outside handoff, line protect to that side of the field.

Learn how to fully utilize the “Truck Stick” and breaking out of tackles technology. As Jamal Lewis, I would immediately start tapping “X” whenever engaged with a defender. This will give you the ability to break out of tackles and add some valuable yards after the first hit.

Another good suggestion for beefing up your AVG is to run out of a spread offense. Pretty self-explanatory.

another one is don't hit turbo before you see daylight.

i would say press teh turbo button just before you get the handoff to get that burst thru the hole, but most times hitting turbo makes you a magnet or makes you juke for some strange reason.

so just do like these guys are saying.

Re: Tips for running the ball please?

thanks for the tips guys,

i have been experimenting with the lead blocking and im getting better...

i like to run out of the spread sometimes, like, single back with 4 wr, however, sometimes the Defense keeps there 7 guys in the box? like they have no respect for my passing game haha...

i think im gettin pretty good now though...

i didnt know i could change back to jamal after making a block, that has helped alot...

thanks agian guys...
