New playbook

[UMkris]

I'm getting killed in the run game. What's you best playbook against the run! This 3-4 isn't working!

That's 6 games in a row where all they did was run the ball and speed up the clock !!! And I stacked the box and just got pushed off the ball like it was nothing. There had to be a glitch because this has never happened like this before.

Do you call the run (left, right, middle) where all your guys sell out towards the ball? That helps stop guys who pound the rock.

Yeah sure did. I watched and my DL and LBs just couldn't get off a block and his RB went for at least 4 yards ever time. I've got about 530 games played and I've never seen it like this. Weird....

I've noticed if I call a run middle and it is run middle they still get a good run. If I call a run middle and its a pass it stops it and vice versa.

I like running a 4-3 under. Basically is a 5-2. I usually don't get beat too bad by the run game with that defense. You need your LOLB to be a bigger guy (think miller, jones, Lehman, cushing) and the ROLB can be whatever you prefer. Also, bring the safety that is on the opposite side of the lb/de hybrid up near the LOS. And make sure your LE is a bigger guy (White, Watt, Long, Peppers, Williams) and the RE is a pass rusher (Peppers, Thomas, Orakpo, etc.) Another cheesy thing to do is go quarters man and bring the safeties up as lb's. It usually works decent

I cannot master this 3-3-5. Time for me to try a 3-4 I think

Run the bottom alignment on the 3-4 where it pinches the DL in. Do you have good blockshed D players?
