Ok so this is still eluding me !!

I aired it out and scored 49 points but a very average RB and OL still managed to score 56 points against me and I defended the run and had a SS center as said above........

Could perhaps a 5 man DL with no FS work v the run anyone know ?



Do you REALLY believe that your opponent was "very average" or were you just upset at the time because you'd lost ?

At a quick glance .... His OL ( L to R ) was 57k, 46k, 70k, 37k, 70k with a FB at 38k and a HB at 56k.
Is that "very average" to you ? Lets compare how average it was to your lineup .....

Your pass catching options were ... WR/L 83k, WR/L 3k, FB/L 18k, FB/R 38k and TE/R 29k ..... and you think that HE was really average ? c'mon man !! You've been in this game long enough .... a 3k WR same side as your 83k WR ??!!

Also, your opponent didn't only run. He also threw passes .... and THREW 3 TD's !! 21 pts from his passing game !!
It's only my opinion but if you were asking me .... I'd say that you were lucky that you kept it so close !!! ( Lots more reasons why you lose that game but it's pointless covering them all if you truly believe that your opponents lineup was average when compared to yours).

That wasn’t really the point I was asking - I’d like to try to stop the run, which I can’t........

So was asking if a 5 man DL might help.

The only reason I said an average OL & RB was apart from the centre all finished with game stats/stars of 3.5 or less, whereas most of my guys O & D were 4 or 4.5......... but maybe that doesn’t count for anything......

Oh I understand what you were asking ...... You are looking for someone who might've actually spent time trying to figure this game out to just give you answers to your predicament of stopping the run. Publicly giving up any advantage they may have gained for themselves over us mere mortals.

But here's a thought ..... Why don't you study the game a little for yourself ? Look at what other teams are doing and who's having success against the run. See what is working for them and then try some things out for yourself in your own games. Maybe find a regular friendly opponent and use those games to figure some stuff out and what works best for you and your team.... Instead of expecting others to do all this for you and then publicly share what they've learned.
You also have to take into account how your players are trained/stack up compared to other teams who might be having success in stopping the run ... and so you're being far too simplistic thinking it's all going to change just by changing formation.

Just take some time and go study some games for yourself from teams in some TD's that are currently having success.

Well ok...... but if you see previous posts others were discussing the very same constructively, with the Polish guy saying virtually the same as me, even suggesting we rename the game rugby as fairly weak running games can now almost always win over strong passing teams........

I have and will try different things myself....... however the idea of the forum is to get pointers if people want to give them, if though people do not, like yourself then that is also your prerogative to do that but no need to slag me off for asking........

Pfletch do not bother yourself trying to discuss with stevie. He is well known by his lack of education... and by his arrogance too.

With the greatest of respect bud, the lack of education comment directed at Stevie is a bit rich coming from yourself. Are you aware that less than a 3rd of the children in Brasil make it to 6th grade? Get out your mud hut and think before you speak!

Sigh. Your comeback is just as uncalled for. Maybe even worse than the original. Let's keep things civilized here....

Possibly the most uncalled for attack since Pasquale Bruno's days.

Locking this thread since the discussion has deviated from the OP's initial post.
