Guy in my league uses it and I’m 1-1 against him. First time, it was the first season and everyone was settling in. I beat him pretty badly due to a couple of picks on screens. Second time, he ran an empty formation the entire game. He would throw a we screen, run QB draw, or throw deep shots. I stopped him the first drive of the game and then never stopped him again. If I had 5 in the box, the draw came and he’d run it outside but my MLB would always pause before I could get him to move so it was 5+ a carry. Blitzes didn’t help much since my guys were spread out so far.

The first game he also ran wide stack and did the same plays except 4 verts always had guys open until I adjusted my secondary to over the top.

Playoffs are coming up and chances are I face him again. Any advice? I’m running 3-3-5 tight.
