I could make a joke or three about it but, because you cannot manipulate your defenses like in Regular leagues, you're kinda stuck with building dots (CB's and Safeties mostly) that are high speed tackling machines that can't cover a receiver to save their asses. Against all passing teams, you'll want a second set of DB's that are pass specific for those games. IMO.

100% short zone coverage, max qb spies.

If the O is all rush then....You will need a separate depth chart....Use stronger dots ,,,,even worth some OOP if you have HH Ss etc.....set d/c to protect the edges so HHLBs outside faster LBs inside....Keep weaker dots off as much as possible.....if they come on use them inside so their speed might help them evade blocks....

As a side note...consider the Offense of your team...What helps the D the best against a morale busting type attack ? The longer you keep the opponent off the field the less time they have to start the energy/morale drain etc

If its a wild card deal you can either tag or use your own D but add a couple of spies etc

I like this idea but wouldn't you still need the right defensive dots on the field? Most of these all run/QB run teams use STOP WR's and such things so that everything on the field is blocking for the one rusher... I would think you would need 'all rush' style defenders to make it work well enough. Too many pass defending dots just get blocked/caked and the defense won't matter if that's true.

Amen brother. The best weapon against those morale/stamina draining all rush teams is to bench their butts as much as possible. Also to get ahead by more than one TD as well, and stay there. One thing an all rush team cannot do well is manage the clock late when behind. That's when time is on YOUR side.

Only ever done it in rookie, but it's really not complicated.
