Coverage blown!

I am up to about a dozen of these plays.

On this one particular......the WLB should have picked up the WR3 assignment. Not waited for his WR4 assignment to release of of the back field.

In this case the WLB watched the running back pick up the blitz while leaving his real assignment the TE, the offender head up on him wide open fir a TD.

This is a coverage bug associated with blitzes and order of coverage assignments for players within them.

In other words why was the WLB set to cover WR 4 when noone is designated to cover the WR3? I thought i read that they rotate down to cover the open man.

There are a number of man defenses that do not have anyone cover the WR3. It's infuriating when you're trying to game plan, and the defensive call you want leaves the WR3 alone.

I see why zone is better....less problems with assignment. Gameplanning is easy then right? Pull those plays. Now i am down to 24 total that plays that use a one deep zone.

I guess i could lose another game by getting beat deep on these plays or Maybe try that 274lb LB at SS. His ratings will allow me to play a two deep alot more. But i would hate to be labled a cheater just in case i beat cypruss.
