What is your Play Style

[twimstaxs]

I like to run a Pro Style like offense. I run the ball and hit short routes. When the Defense least suspects it I throw deep to test them. Sometimes on my second drive I will go deep first play to make sure the Defense is awake. I like Two TE in packages so when I recruit I focus on bigger and faster TEs. Right now I am looking to get a fast HB and a power HB so I can start running a Two back system as well. That for is the fun in recruiting. Not trying to get the best players, but getting the best players available that fit your system. I usually have really great success because I keep the Defense guessing. I rarely use a Shotgun formation unless being blitzed a lot.

How do you play?

spread. 60/40 pass.

Balanced attack. I probably run 45% of the time, even more if I'm smoking a team.

On offense I run the ball. I love the ACE formations because I also like passing out of them too.

On Defense I love the 4-2-5 mixed with the 3-3-5 in my CPB. I play mostly man but I mix zone blitz's in too.

Defense I run a 4-3 Base D. 2WR or less I run a 4-3 Man. I am always blitzing one guy and I control the MLB. 3WR I either run Nickel Man or Dime Cover 3 and blitz an extra man. 4WR or more I play Dime Cover 3 and control the Safety. It helps me take away the middle of the field while getting pressure on the QB.

I have been playing with WVU and Texas Tech with their Air Raid offenses. It's been 95-5 pass (mostly short passes). I find it very challenging to call run plays out of shotgun.

I think the only run plays that work in shotgun are draw plays. I can usually run out of shotgun also if there are only 3 DLineman and the DBs are playing deep. Usually the ONLY time I would run out of shotgun.

Offense: I like multiple type playbooks. I like to go after where my opponent is weakest. If they have a crappy line, I will pound the ball and hit them with play action. Lack of depth at corner or a good front 7? Spread em out and try to get the ball in the air. I don't need any stars on offense (though having one at QB is especially nice) to have some success, but I if any unit is bad, it really hurts things.

Defense: 4-3, speed kills defense. I like to shift people around a bit, but I usually try to play pretty basic fronts. Not a whole lot of blitzes, and if they are they're usually pretty straightforward run blitzes. I usually try to cover up weaknesses and maximize strengths. Usually I will have a pass rush DE and a balanced/run stopper on the other side. A coverage specialist LB goes above the run stopper. A balanced/run stopping DE goes over the pass rusher. I'm not too picky about DTs as long as they're pretty strong. I want my front 7 to be fast, so they can get to the edges and run down the ball carrier quickly. Plus, it helps a lot if they can cover receivers decently so I don't need to leave my base formations as much. Defensive backs need to be good in man coverage and I prefer tall safeties to fast safeties.
