Tried it. Like I said, unbeatable press coverage, and scrambling really screws up your accuracy. Sacked before my receivers can get off the line as you then run into the fundamental problem of him being able to rush one more than you can block even if you slide protection to the right and he's pass committing every time since he doesn't have to worry about the rush beating him. I had occasional success with the tight end and demps on wheels out of the backfield but more often than not didn't have time to get an accurate pass off even out of shotgun or he'd manually spy Demps.

It also really irked me that even when I would buy enough time and my outside receivers could get off the press and get downfield, his DBs recover and would be with them step for step even on go routes and even though my receivers have higher speed ratings (Rainey and Deonte Thompson are both 95+ speed).
