Something I feel that would really take your offense to the next level is a couple of solid passes out of formations you would typically QB Rollout from. A couple of TE Flags from WR trips would be monstrous. Those generic Big I passing plays would also be hell to plan for as well. For a lot of these passing pays WRs would be fairly open too as no one would be expecting it, so I think you could get away with only having maybe 40 points or so in receiving hands/consistency, ignore catch in traffic entirely, and get away with it. It would give your opponents more things to worry about when planning for you and as a result make your run game even more dominant.


I kinda went this route. We weren’t an all run team, but were about 80/20 run/pass. I then changed directions due to rookie ball and started putting SPs into QB passing and receiver catching. My problem was I also went 80/20 pass/run. My QB rating/percentage has been terrible.

I just now switched back to 80/20 run/pass (keeping my decent SPs in pass/catch) and my offense is starting to click. My QB rating/percentage is better. Limits sacks and INTs that cause bad morale. Ball control and keep ahead of the chains. Allows for 3rd and manageable. I will always rely on my defense and ball control.

Rookie predictions, Week 5!
This is going to be a reaaaal interesting week everyone!

Egg League

Fairhaven Blue Knights vs 1980s Rule Clown World Fools
Both teams have very similar records. I'm feeling Cybertron in this game though. He's clearly constantly evolving game to game and actively learning from his mistakes.

Intimidation Factor vs Davis Empire Tigers
After Intimidation factor got a change of management they put 30+ points up on their last two opponents.

Cleveland Cowboys vs Jarvis Street Coffee Squirrels
For me Cleveland Cowboys have honestly been the dark horse of rookie this season. They came out of nowhere and no one expected them to deliver these solid performances consistently. Despite having the exact same record however Jarvis has faced, and beaten the much harder teams, and I feel that them having a higher ladder rank of #7 as opposed to Cleveland's #10 is evidence of this.

HOLY GUACAMOLE! vs Mediocre Maniacs
HOLY GUAC is coming off the momentum of a two game winstreak. I feel like this game will extend them to 3 and be the catalyst into their team kicking it into the next gear.

GAME OF DA WEEK
Scranton Scramblers(6-2) vs Team BETA(6-2)
Now I have immense respect for both of these teams. I'm actually friends with both PH33P and Kvothe, but I'm taking Team Beta. This may sound strange coming form the guy who lost to Scranton and beat Beta, but here me out on this one. On the surface both these teams are the exact same. The only major differences being that PH33P has the more stacked roster, and has been doing it for much longer. I believe that PH33P will have the defense necessary to shut down what is essentially his own offense, and has the necessary experience to get points on the board

On the other hand we have the fact that Scranton has without a doubt had the much harder schedule so far, and all his contracts on high. To hell with game of the week this is game of the century.

Palm League

Midcoast Chaos vs Santa Fe Assassins
Raw talent has the much more experience and the more stacked roster.

THE REAPERS vs Virginia Cavaliers
Butler hoping to bounce back from a tough loss to Butler. I think this game is the opportunity his team was looking for.

Assisted Living V.2 vs Wiggle Warriors
So one one hand I'm obviously always going to pick myself but on the other hand PH33P is too busy planning for Kvothe let's be honest here. Anyway my predictions on my own team won't be factored into my W/L just for future reference.

GAME OF DA WEEK!
Brooklyn Brontosauruses(8-0) vs Prisoner's Dilema(7-1)
Yeah, that's right! You heard me! I don't think Brooklyn solves the Dilemma! "But 4Chan!" you say in a confused tone, "All the evidence points against it!" Oh yeah? Well Sue me! Here's why.
Prisoner's Dilema almost lost to the Chosen Gators the other day. 3-0. "But 4Chan, that's more evidence that they'll lose!" I don't think so. I think that's evidence that they barely tried. I think that's evidence that William spent all his time planning for this game. Meanwhile Kvothe (who I'm assuming coaches Brooklyn) had to plan for the match of the century over in Egg league. The streak ends today people. I think William had, and spent, much more time preparing.

Overall Prediction record
26-12-1 (68.4%)

1980s goes back to what they do best...RUN THE BALL and great defense!

Clubber Lang says "I pity the fool...give me dat ball!!!"
https://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/782348/612021

Megatron was getting pissed when we went 80/20 pass/run. He told coach Cybertron "Give me the damn ball or I will blast you with my arm bazooka! Let me run over these fools!" Megatron made good on his promise!
https://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/782348/612238

Who said running is dead in rookie? Megatron with 250 yards on the ground. Skeletor's pass efficiency is way up...8/16 62 yards, 2 TDs and 0 Ints. Throwing less is better for us.

1980s is catching fire....Team BETA...your next!

Xars, let me know if you want me to run your offense

Hell of a game...Brooklyn is for real. Game wasn't even that close. Brooklyn had the ball, 1st and goal at the 4 and came away with zero points on one drive.

Yeah...didn't see this coming. Egg League needs to step it up. We are off to a slow start, but playing the long game. I think all/most of the top Egg League teams will be very good by Vet. How many teams are planning on staying to Vet? Isn't Scranton resetting or jumping to Vet...somehow next season?

Abodden and I actually messed up and need another season to build superstar points :\, so were going to reset Team Beta after this season again.


I think BETA will reset too. This Ph33p quote was from an earlier thread.

Maybe this rookie tier will petter out rather quickly after so much promise?

Nah, that was before they changes the S* requirements. I remember I was talking to him about it. On the last day of the preseason when they dropped all the requirements PH33P and Abboden were able to make all the players they miscalculated for.
