people need to try out the scourge. I had time in the pocket and had a great running game against Pittsburgh (run stuffing) The only problem is the QB isn't that great, but the rest of the team seems really solid. So PB kept throwing on me and I kept running. Did two games in a row and both went that way ending 7-7
btw I broke another big run (32yrds) ...and it was again the stretch play. With the scourge and Houston, it seems like the old barry sanders or walter payton where you can get losses or break big ones. He is obviously fast and elusive, unlike chicago's rb who is power and can't bust those huge outside runs.
The funny thing is as intense as the game is the biggest rewards come through being patient. on those stretch plays I didn't tough RT until I got the corner and burned up the sideline. up the middle I don't usually press until near the end to lean forward (unless using the FB where I press RT right away and up on the RS).
Another big thing I'll do is wait at the line until the D is settled (this is huge) let's say you have an outside run w/ no WR out in space...you wait until the defence adjusts and brings them in the box, so that you don't have a lone unblocked man out there. Or lets say on side has 2 corners and the other side 1, I'll LB then click LS to flip the play running towards the side with one defender.
these little things have made me able to run the ball - and also on chaotic plays where you feel screwed, making the first guy miss goes a long way to either just getting back to the line or picking up 2-3 yards.
