Can you demonstrate the effectiveness of shading vs not shading routes. With out routes this year and the new passing, I think it would be an interesting comparison.

So far this year I am getting hit with a lot of draw plays. What defense would you recommend that is good to stop the draw, but still gives you decent pass coverage just in case your opponent passes?

pack,
look to a 4 down line. pinch the defense line and drop both DE’s into purples.
the interior linemen will clog the middle running lanes and force the hb draw to go OUTSIDE which will help slow down the push upfield.
try that then let me know

Big things I’d like to see covered: Good defenses/sets to stop outside runs this year, best play to beat press coverage (seems everyone is using press this year), Good PlayAction plays (as it seems they are usable again this year where they were awful last year)

Usering streaks seems to be 90% of the offense in the game so far this season even against press man coverage. What adjustments can be done to slow this down? I’ve tried putting zones underneath but they can pass lead away. Consequently having to drop players in zones gives them extra time in the pocket to find check downs or scramble since it dilutes the pass rush.

Whats the best strategy to effective user coverage on defense this year?

Can you breakdown a depth chart for the Chiefs? I’m not sure who to use as the third in the Full House backfield, Boss, Moeaki, or McCluster. Also, what is your take on their defense? Cassel is a weakness deep, but otherwise they are fun to use so far.

The steelers just signed demarcus van dike do u think that makes em a playable team with the secondary now.

How do you get the WR to take the one step in motion and then run the route? He always seems to block for me instead of running his route.

What Playbook do you recommend on Defense. I use the Eagles since I like an attacking blitz style D.
[Reply]
IS there any way to detect if the D is in Man or Zone this year before the snap?
