Breaking Down your Opponent Defense

[Longview Lobos]

What do you guys think about this?

My friend & I pick 16 teams each, we play each other by the conference i.e. Dallas plays Wash twice who ever wins that division goes to the playoffs, so the objective is to take many teams as possible to the post season.


Anyway, I broke down all of his teams defensively as far as his weakest players i.e RCB, LOLB if their AWR, or overall is lower than 80 I attack this area.

I did this and his weaker players killed me I must be attacking his defense the wrong way.


So Question:

How would you go about attack the following positions?

Awareness & Jumping Ability Lower than 80

Strong Safety

LOLB

Free Safety

RCB is normally the weaker of the two CB’s.
Thanks~~~~~~

Instead of trying to exploit specific players, see if you can recognize tendencies in his defensive playcalling and exploit the overall scheme. Trying to pick on a certain player can be futile at times. For example, if his RCB is below average you still won't be able to get the ball to the corresponding receiver on a hitch route if he's bumping you.

For the bad safeties I usually pump fake more than I normally do. For OLB maybe counters or PA. PA would also mess up bad corners and safeties.

follow up question to this zaza.. what would be considered good AWR, and bad AWR ratings to the point were a player would be more prone to biting on PA plays, counters etc?
