Face a two man rush and this might happen



Oooh, is that new?


A bi-product of the two changes, but it has to be rare. Beta had a few as well. I tried that roll out play to see if i could get the QB to run....there might be something there **** the sacks will probably out weigh runs...

No, but we would have ran it a few times here if it were in our book. I saw it ran a few times here.. scouting someone and they threw it twice and took two sacks ... something like that. In general it doesn't look like reads have changed that much from 4.5.

On this play it was a deep zone, and my passing game is not that strong.....in my head i was cheering for him to run it! and he did, but i am chalking it up to the 2 rushhers and 9 cover guys.

It’s been covered above. No DB on DL, no WR at DB.

No one cares if you have a TE at RB. It’s when you covert everyone to WR have them lose weight and gain speed. So then you have all WRs playing WR and RB with max speed. If you have injuries to your RB, no one going to complain about a WR getting carries. It’s the WR with 400 rushes in a season that causes issues.

We all KNOW what to do. I don’t need rules to place to make sure I play the game the intended way. If we have to create rule after rule because someone feels like winning a virtual championship cause they think its makes them a real life hero, then remove that owner and you wont need 20 rules.



I'm going to make this THE rule!


Could or should we put this in the rules and guidlines post?
