Coach would always call the same 5 to 7 plays ALL BLITZS. Many teams give you a different look but in reality they are running the same play out of a DIFFERENT FORM

Just because a play works in real life doesn't make it cheesy in the game. In fact, perhaps quite the opposite is true.

The things that people tend to complain about being cheesy are the plays that don't work in real life that are unstoppable in the game--and perhaps 4-4 split may qualify.

I don't really see any college football teams running a 4-4. Now I may be wrong, but I just don't really remember seeing it.

And I don't care if your HS team did it. That's high school. It's a completely different game. You don't really see people running the option in the NFL, but it's very popular in the college game.

Thats true run a spread but da Canes have fast DBs I have been beat by the deep pass about 30/35% of the times. 4-4 Split is a great DEF with the right players. Also I dont make any subs like I had the guy put his RB at DE and his fastest WR at DB and still got his A*s handed to him 42-13 he was up 13-0 in 6-7 plays

The high school game is not that much different from college ball especially at the top high schools across the country.

The NFL is a totally different league it should be called the CCL=Copy Cat League especially in this dam era.

TCU runs a 4-2-5 which is a 4-4 split is 4DL/2LBw/speed/5DBw/speed they have run this DEF for awhile now

Yes, it is...


The ratio of NFL players to non-NFL players is even lower in college football than the ratio of college players to non-college players in high school. There are some great high school football teams, but I'm sorry, there's a significant difference.

And perhaps part of the big difference is that in high school, one or two of your four linebackers is likely not a college linebacker but a college safey, and he's got the skill to cover the other team's 3rd WR (who probably won't play college football) as if he were a defensive back.

In college, against most teams, a true linebacker generally won't be able to cover most teams third WR, or forth necessarily.

Yes, there are lots of teams that run 4-2-5 formations. I mean, it is a nickel formation, but here instead of linebackers, you've got safeties/corners in the box. Safeties are just as good at tackling, but they don't necessarily have the pass rushing ability of a LB, or the ability to penetrate through the interior line for a stop for loss. They've also got more speed.
