I made a video showing the Will dropping back 12 yards into a hook. The thing is there are no receivers on his side that are his responsibility. The RB in releasing to the right flat and the slot Maclin is running the crossing route.

I put a spotlight on Maclin and called put all 3 LB's in hook zones. I'm in a 4-3 D.

Check out the video.

I wouldn't be too concerned about it. In your lab session, the LOS was the 30, he caught it at the 30 and it on went for about a 2-3 yard gain. They do take a deep drop back, but they recover rather quickly as well.

True it was a short gain but for some reason while playing online crossing routes seem to be more effective.

I would say 8 out of 10 times that same play goes for 7 to 15 yard with easy YAC.

Put your mlb in zone then take control of him.

4-3 cover 3 and take control of the free-safety to help cover the middle
