Increase speed threshold to 75, stops the flats problem

If they're abusing the flat, I'll manually audible one of my zone players or defensive ends to the field side flat and use the sideline as an extra defender on the boundary.

Definitely going to steal some of these ideas as well. Thank you!

The HB outs are being overused Ive noticed. Try covering them yourself. Another strategy I use is putting a DE in contain, you can get some nice interceptions or batted balls because the DE will sit in the passing lane if the QB doesnt roll out.
