I started trying the 4-4 tonight and I can shut the run down like a champ.
If the CPU comes out w/ 2WRs I can shut down the pass, usually with a sack.

I like to control the FS so the CPU controlled guys get the sack for me.

My question is, do ya'll come out in the 4-4 even if the offense comes out in 3 or more WRs?

I'm all about using the 4-4 for the entire game if that's possible. I would love to be able to shut the pass down like I can with the run. I feel like I can dominate the CPU when it tries to run on me. But then it drops back to pass and picks me apart like a pee-wee team's secondary

I too am using the Texans and I find my LBs can't, don't have a chance against 3 or 4 WRs, they are just not fast enough. Plus like you said we have a hard time tackling. I've pretty much given up on trying for a BIG HIT unless there are others near-by to assist if I wiff.

How do you have your roster setup because Im using the Texans as well.. Just to help you out. Here's mine

DE - Mario and Antonio
DT - Barwin and Okam
LOLB - Barber (SS)
MLB- Cushing
ROLB - Ryans
CB - Robinson, Reeves
FS - Busing
SS - Pollard.
With that lineup I believe its that faster and most proficient for the Texans. It covers speed in the D-Line and Lnebackers and should provide enough heat to give the CBs some help..

I'm not good using the 46 but I want to try this defense.

Can I assume that in order to run the 4-4 effectively, you have to have the same type of gameplan and adjustments as you would running the 46?

What defeensive play out of The Titans playbook will slow down if not stop N.E. 5WR Screen pass to Moss or any N.E. WR? Any help would be welcomed.
