- Adjusted Shotgun 5WR formation's QB to stand further back, so he has more room to operate, roll out, and get a pass away (about 7yds)
- Changed QB dropback limits to allow more freedom to drop back further on screen plays, to help avoid too many sacks
- Pass rush pressure now has much less effect on screen play pass quality, since the whole point of the play is to have the defense in your QB's face
- Added a new formation with some new plays: Shotgun Trips Wk. This is a 4WR, 1HB formation with 3 receivers stacked on the weak side. QB stands a bit further back similar to 5WR change.

Plays so far in the new Formation:

It is 4wr but still matching 3 wr's with a zone defense... could make the whole formation yet more interesting! Less sacks too will be interesting and maybe 5wr plays will start to really hit off

I was riiiiiiiight!

Great changes, should open the playbook more. Finally 5WR may get some run now.

AND....Borts aids the passing game

Not really you can rush in trips wk as well... mostly just provides some options and 5wr passing has always been an easy blitz.

Plus he's aided hb screens if I'm reading right which has very interesting permutations

Adjusted the default BSB playbook to add many of these new plays to the existing default PB. Some of the plays might work pretty well. I assume that some defensive tweaks might be needed for 4WR sets as well.

as long as you showed qb up the middle on 5wr it usually had some good run anyway

A lot of the screens still suck mostly because they take too long to develop and are still sack bait. But it will be nice that some of the screens that weren't so long to develop with actually be able to be caught regularly now. Though I didn't see too much difference today in scrimmages so far. 5 WR still kinda looked like trash. But the new 4 WR formation looked like it had some viability.

There are multiple 4WR trip plays that on paper, look like they could be pretty decent. We will see though. I am not set to spam them with BSB but I incorporated them in to the default PB with top priority and removed some plays to make it happen. I have set up a few scrims today to get a look at how they may perform with our offensive set up so we will see if any pop out at us.

Ive found some decent ones for sure I kinda like, some good wr1 and 2 targets in the plays actually that I like.. and Hb screens that dont take ages to develop are good... elusive HB's actually make it much easier to set up fast which is a bonus for them

Yup, Zombie is why detroit hardly ran any screens, HBs have to travel so damned far on most of them and DLinemen are getting faster by the day. You can also buy more time with QB footwork but you don't want to allow DEs to get PDs on the screens :/

Oh c'mon now. Don't blame your lack of creativity on offense on Zombie. Just admit it! You were always scared of that 20 heart and you know it!
