Can anyone execute a screen?

Try pinching your offensive line. It can give you the extra second you need to get the pass off, pressure tends to come up the middle with your guards pulling.

The only way I've gotten it to work is if I throw as soon as my QB completes his dropback. If you wait at all it will be a sack most times.

I always pinch...ive even attempted to throw backpedalling but i suppose with the new logic of the QB required to set his feet you cant really dump it off as he is back pedalling..he''ll tuck and take sack

Although this play has a major flaw sometimes it can work. I drop back a little further than i should and invite the pressure then pass it with some up on the stick to get it high over the heads.

The major flaw with the play is that the playside tackle blocks the DE , then when the RB catches the ball he is only 2/3 yds away from that very DE who has been blocked very close to the RB and he often can just turn and make the tackle since he's right next to the RB. The play should let that playside DE into the backfield.

ARe you dropping back far enough? You are to draw the D toward you etc...by going back (further than a normal drop)
I haven't had any issues running screens at all.

Yep.. that's IMO the only issue. Sometimes it does help to get the deep drop and pump fake to a specific WR on the oposite side then dump it to back but you have to be quick about it...

Of course I am..probably further back then in '11 for that very reason..but im mashing the 'throw' button and if PR's feet arnt quite set..he'll tuck and take sack...
