I usually just play my brother online (PC).
Normally, I destroy him. Lately, he's been coming back. He's .500 the last few days.

I can stop his offense without a problem.

But his defense is annoying the crap out of me. Here's the deal:

I typically use either the Steelers, Colts, or Giants. I'm from Pittsburgh, but love Peyton and Tiki. haha.
He usually uses the Eagles or Steelers. Usually the Eagles though.

I DESTROYED my brother with Peyton. UNTIL he started blitzing the crap out of me.


This is what he does: He SHOWS blitz EVERY play. EVERY PLAY!!!!!!!!! But he doesnt ACTUALLY blitz everyone (obviously). So I have no clue who's blitzing and who's not. He usually just blitzes 1 or 2 LBs, but I never know which ones. Sometimes he does an all out blitz. Sometimes the LBs drop back and the corners blitz. Sometimes everyone ends up dropping back in coverage. But I have no clue at the beginning of the play.

Now, I figured the way to beat it was to keep lots of people back blocking, then bomb it deep on the side the SS should be. My WR should be able to outrun the SS, since the SS is up showing blitz.
It hasnt worked. I get sacked before he gets very deep, and usually he throws it wacky because he's under pressure. Especially Eli Manning and Roethlisberger. Even if he does get it off, the FS is still there in time.

Now he does this regardless of what team I use, and I can't stop it. I keep back people to block. Two RBS and two TE's. Sometimes I'll literally have only one or two WRs running patterns each play, since everyone else is back blocking... and I'll STILL get sacked.
I stay in the pocket, I roll out, either way, I get sacked.

I cant run short routes, as I only have 1 or 2 recievers running routes, and the CBs just jump on it.

Ive tried not blocking and just reading who's blitzing and throwing it there. I'm usually sacked before I get the ball off.

Also, I like running a lot. But now that he has 8 people in the box every play, I rush for about 30 yards a game, if that. I used to run it down this throat.

There has to be a way to beat this. What would you guys do?

I'd Spread it out, 4/5 wide shotgun so if he does show blitz, MOST of his cover men are out of position not just the SS, alway make a hot reciever if he does blitz and a deep ball or med routes if he doesnt, If you knew if he was running zone or Man I'd be able to help a little more.

Dont run this on every play though you have to mix it up against his mixing it up. I'd say if you wanted to go deep with him showing blitz look to the other side of the field then switch your QB vision the the reciever goin deep, but the transition could cause another sack.

Hope it helps
