If your playing against the CPU, here are a few suggestions. Patience. Follow your blockers. If the FB is missing his block, you can always put him or a TE in motion and hit the gap. Think about using the pass to set up the run. Most folks think the other way around. On first down, try a six or seven yard hitch, then come back with a draw, or a counter with a pulling guard and again, follow your block. If you always come out running, particularly to the outside, the CPU will stack the line against you. Look at how many are in the box, do the LB's shift to one side or another? Also some backs are made to run up the middle ex. Jamal Lewis, Stephen Jackson, LT.....some are outside guys ex. Thomas Jones, Cadillac, Tiki Barber. Run to their strenghts, just don't be predictable or the CPU defense will eat you up.
