Well i'm just pointing out decent plays, that tend to perform better then most in comparison, considering data acquired in recent seasons, watching the matchups on the sim, analizing glb2scout, top teams gameplans, etc. The objective, i believe, is to provide decent plays for new owners/coaches, first they need to learn the meta and the basics so they don't get crushed, then adapt and inovate.
In my first season as a coach my team was abused by trips rollout rush strong, zeb and bi te crosses, and i didn't know what to do, i tought it was OP, almost gave up.
Yes they are what we have settled, defense is reactive to offense, the meta is stabilished, anyone can try new things, but they will mostly play against 2 TE: sweeps and counter left + bi te crosses; 2 WR: pro hb sweep, si sweep str, I and WI WR screen, i double back out and up; 3 WR pitch strong, weak, counter strong, rollout rush strong, te post, sg wr hook; 4 WR: dives and off tks, flags and post.
I'm nothing encouraging status quo, but since they will play against these 95% of the time, i see nothing wrong with pointing out good plays against these.
I was just referring to the 2TE set. I just don't like a single play against it, not one. I usually settle for sky man under because it is the least likely to get me killed, but it is still pretty bad. Every 2TE defense (which is every defense in the game) seems to have several huge holes in it. Originally posted by BoDiddley
My first GLB2 season I just studied Myrik_Justiciar's lockdown defense and that was more helpful than all the guides I browsed combined.
One thing new coaches tend to overlook is depth charts. Putting players in the right spots, and adjusting them to fit the actual plays you run...gives a big edge. Everyone knows to put a blitzing Lb in the ROLB spot for 3-4 tiger(if you run it). But little things like using the LOLB spot for a coverage LB seems to get overlooked. Sure, it may seem like a good idea to have another blitzer there, but most plays will send that LOLB into coverage against the TE.
Depth charts are huge. I do a custom depth chart for every team I face outside of rookie.
I try to run certain formations vs specific formations to ensure guys are at the right spot. These change sometime but are generally.
2TE: 3-4, 5-2, quarter
2WR: 4-3, 4-4
3WR: Nickle, Nickle 3-3-5
4WR: 4-3, 3-2-6, dime
So in the 3-4 the ROLB is your best run stuffer maybe even throw in a run stuff CB at CB1. RDE is your best anti-run DE. This will not conflict with any other formation because 3-4 is exclusively a 2TE defense.
This is all more advanced stuff. Just calling the plays you all have listed should help these guys a lot.
