    (SPOILER) Playbook for Ozzie Jones?

    Well lads finished the first season with the Seahawks. Hasselbeck's right arm (over 4000 yards) and three healthy wideouts helped us reached the play-offs but our lack at HB (Julius Jones and Maurice Morris) quickly showed as the Bucs dismantled us in play-off game 1.

    The Ozzie Jones draft is coming up and with 2 late first round picks (22 and 29) I reckon I'd be in a good position to draft him.

    I'm still running Holmgrens West Coast passing attack and I was wondering if Ozzie Jones would be any good? Or do I need to alter the playbook? Or get another HB that might do better in this scheme?

    Thanks

    BTW any other tip about this draft is VERY welcome too....

      Jones still anchores the line and I've added Scheuning in the draft.

      I reckon there a three ways to change plays/playbook:
      - Steal plays.
      - Create and edit excisting plays.
      - Hire another OC.

        In my experience, hiring another OC does not change your playbook. The best you can do is, during the hiring process, select the options to "replace a few 4-3 plays, replace a few dime plays" etc. But it does not tell you WHICH plays are being added, or subtracted.

          Okay.....this thread already has the spoiler warning, so don't read any further if you don't want to know about Ozzie please.









          Now, having said that. I drafted Ozzie in my first offseason after I, too, lost in the playoffs and suffered from a poor run game.

          My playcalling and strategies may be suspect, but he didn't perform well for me. He DOES catch very well, but I could not for the life of me get him off on his running game. He broke VERY few big runs even with his amazing speed. I bulked up my coaching and everything to help him, but had little success running inside, outside, sweeps, pitches, draws....he simmed better though, than he actually played for me. Traded him away last season. I'm in my 2013 season.

          At least he never gets hurt and was an excellent receiver. I just don't know if it was the Seahawks system or what.

            I too have ozzie and I'd have to say he is so talented that he would work well in any system other than smashmouth. however, i think an ideal back for you would have a little bit more size (faulk was a big guy, really). i dont have many specific examples off the top of my head for you, but one guy you might want to look at is felix jones.

                  Congrats on your success with Ozzie, guys. I guess I just could not use him correctly for the three seasons I had him.

                        weird...it seems like the jones/wyoming combo is fairly popular. the AI controlled jets picked those two before I took them over (after getting fired by the bears) in my career. i have yet to use wyoming though, he's still on my bench behind clemens, who i have to keep due to a grossly high penalty cap

                          Spoiler


                          Also managed to sign Ray Rice (3.2 mil for 1 year) so we've really upgraded our running attack. Surprised to see him as a FA after only one season .

                          Tomorrow is is the first pre-season game, can't wait to see our new HB's and WR's on the field.

                              Ive been starting josh johnson his rookie year, he will be a good fit *sometime* in the future but right now he just drives me crazy with great plays with his feet followed by a pick six

                              In the season opener vs the pats he threw 2 pick sixes that should never have been thrown, plus another pick before he got the hook in the 3rd quarter. If I threw it around every game like my playbook desperately wants, I'd easily be in the upper 30's for picks on the year. Maybe more.

                              but hes a "project qb" who has done a lot better when I have only been making him throw 10-15 times a game midseason. plus his abysmal learning has caught up with my condensed-for-dummies playcalling. Knucklehead wr's + a knucklehead qb make for a rocky passing game other than handful of plays they can manage to master. But the potential! It hopefully will be worth it.
