The only problem with the GT's flexbone is that you do not have any other options for formations. You cannot really get effective pass plays very often. Also cheesers will usually run a 3-2-6 and run commit every play which makes the offense very limited (i run sweeps when they do this). However if it is an honest opponent GT is a great team and the flexbone is great. Just remember since it is a running playbook you cannot come back in the 4th quarter very easily.

That's why I used the balance. It had 5 shotgun formations along with some I, single back, split back, a flexbone and wishbone.

Love seeing people get pissed off. People don't like just getting ran over for 3 yards a time.

i love using gt online. the offense is great ball control, and has the ability to bust open huge plays when defenders commit inside or outside. you just need to be able to read what the defense is committing to and take what they give you. i find the most effective way to dominate with this offense is to play sound defense, make one or two stops in a row, and slowly pile up the points on your opponent

I think that the pass game with the flexbone has improved tremendously since last year.... I've been usin' the flexbone for a long as I can remember... and as it goes right now.... will probably be the first time since I've been playin' online that I'm gonna continue to run it on a regular basis and not get frustrated and change it up.....

Now, it's not a super effective like other playbooks.... But one thing you gotta do is never completely abandon the run.... If I ever find myself neglectin' the run, even if I'm down a few scores, then I'm not winnin' that game.... It's tough for any offense, regardless of playbook, to pass against someone who knows your gonna pass...

And I like the fact that you are in all similar forms the whole game.... Then they have to respect both the run and pass all game.... Not very many people are gonna come out in a multi WR set, weather it's under center or shotty, and run the ball all the time...

And I love the fact that Georgia Tech and the Flexbone is gettin' so much love.... Nice to see i'm not alone out here...
