Record day for Jamal Buckingham

[revan615]

With run DMC unsigned and not in camp, we had to turn to Buckingham in our pre-season opener against the 49ers. He responded with 312 yards on 31 carries, with 4 tds. By far the biggest rushing total I've had, and after ripping off 2 80 yard runs in the first half, I had to leave him in. (I also wanted him to learn plays, being a run first guy)

what kind of sliders are you using?

[revan615]

Default for that particular game. I've only ever switched sliders for one career. Had mixed results with that slider set. I've always had consistent results with default sliders, pretty normal rushing numbers, and passing numbers aren't inflated because i run at least 50% nearly every game. But never anything this big rushing.

Used a couple of different Sliders from advice on this Forum and have had success, especially with some of the Future 50 RB's. Currently using last advice on Sliders tested by Picker19's last thread on Sliders.
Ozzie Jones has games this current season of:
28 Carries - 364 Yards
24 Carries - 278 Yards
31 Carries - 347 Yards
27 Carries - 261 Yards.

Ozzie is small and loves to run off tackle and with the Pitch but his runs are Highlight Film Category as they compare him to Barry Sanders.

I had Noel Shine too and he went through one season (Ozzie Jones Draft Path) with 12 straight games of at least 128 yards per game. With 4 Punt Returns.

Never had a lot of success with Ozzie (or Felix) Jones in any strategy. I've done much better with Leron James (english path) and Run DMC, sending both right up the middle most of the time.

Maybe its me, doing something wrong, but all the run success I've had involves a huge O line, high 90s trucking workhorse backs, and sending them straight up the middle, interspersed with an effective long ball pass game.

Pitches, outside handoffs, counters, etc usually see my back getting tackled a yard or two on either side of the line of scrimmage.
