    Nice job. He sure was in love with that PA pass from (I think) Ace Slot.

    One thing I noticed on those videos is that it seems like it's a lot easier to throw on the run on NG. A lot of those passes you guys completed while scrambling/rolling out would've been incomplete or picked on CG.

    That was some good ball. What order were those games actually played?



    And what bit rate/compression are you using for your videos? They look more crisp.

    That's some excellent gaming there. Looks like you've really got your act together right now.

    Woulda blitzed his *** more out of the PA a-y-trips, but, maybe he was calling some other stuff out of it I didn't see. FWIW: a pass commit blitz with 2 LBs outta 4-3 (inside or out) woulda killed that pass play most of the time. (like heavy said, I've been experimenting with it too...just verifying)

    Impressed with how you ran with Iowa. I've struggled mightily to get a good running game gonig with them. However, might just be me. Might be focusing too much on the pass game instead.

    On most of the passes like that you'll notice that he rolls out, then stops to get his QB's footing so he'll make a better pass. A few times he was still running and the pass ended up picked.

    It can be effective, but not as much as on last gen where there was no risk and plenty of reward.

    Not any more, you have to have your feet set on CG to get a good throw off. Even in your drop back if you just press down on the stick until you find someone open (doesn't matter if your still in the pocket when you throw) it will be picked. Throwing on the run is an exercise in futility.

    It doesnt seem like that guy can work without a mobile QB. I dont know if Oregon's QB went down or what...but the slower pocket passing QB, he was just stuck with. Good games man. I bet the Iowa - Clemson was really frustrating

    I should have realized it was never our destiny to stop Judgment Day, it was merely to survive it. The Terminator knew; he tried to tell us, but I didn't want to hear it; all I know is what the Terminator taught me; never stop fighting. And I never will. The battle has just begun.

    GG's Rhombic. Goes back to what you and I were talking about earlier about blitzes coming wide (on containing that PA Rollout).

    His money play was Ace Big Twin TE (or whatever formation that has the TE's offset on the strongside), PA Stretch. It's a max protect scheme in which both TEs automatically stay in to block. As a result, I couldn't get pressure on it consistently with a blitz. I was pass committing on virtually every single one of the times that he used that play (if you look, you can see sometimes where my guy did a hitstick).

    are you kidding me? how many times did you see him roll out and run the same PA pass play? I guess different people have different understanding of what is cheesy and what isn't. IMO, going to your money play and excessive amount of times per game is just lame.

    Sidenote: since I'm likely to be playing this guy again in the future (I'm sure he'll want rematches), does anybody know some good strategies to use against that PA pass.

    The main issue that I had was that in man coverage, you have two routes that are problematic. The intermediate drag by the slot WR can get open, and the HB coming out of the backfield is often wide open because his man is coming from the other side of the field. I had some success in zone, but getting pressure on the passer was problematic.

    I disagree. That guy could ball.

    Props to Rhombic. You played great.
