GE needs to throw LB Contain out the window. All it did was set the OLB's up to be the easiest block for the FB on sweeps. Also, it doesn't work with inside the tackle runs. GE would have been better rolling with a 5-2 setup or cover 2 all day.

5-2 gets pretty well destroyed by HB sweep too, but i agree it woulda been better than Man LB Contain.

Well shit. I got fucked early on. I was inside the 20 yard line twice and came away with 0 points. Then, my stupid ass defenders would get "sucked in" to the LOS every time your QB or HB would make a dip into the LOS, then run back outside. I even specifically ran LB Contain in 2 WR sets to stop your outside runs...but my guys got caught in between 2 others blocking several times.

Here is an example of the LB Contain play. Watch the SS get caught up in the WR and CB blocking interaction:

Here are couple of my highlights.

Darth Maul fakes out 2 defenders and takes it to the house!

Count Dooku plows over 3 defenders!

Pursuit can help you a bunch with the "safety gets hung up on CB blocking engagement" issue. Pursuit is your player's pathing intelligence. The higher it is, the more often they can re-evaluate their pathing relative to the ball carrier.

And yes, Dooku trucking my FS definitely inspired me to say "yeah, probably time to toss tackling skills a bone".

I was actually wondering if there was some skill (such as balance) that could help him move past a blocking interaction if it's already too late for pursuit to help all that much. As of now, players do move past, but at a very slow rate.

Also wondering how to stop players from being blocked from behind. On some occasions, pursuit works fine, only to see the WR (or whoever) start humping the defender's backside, and the defender's movement is then slowed to a crawl.

I don't know if balance will help them move through other players faster, but it will help prevent them suddenly stumbling over and falling down in those situations.

As for rear blocks, you need to be faster

League Playoff games count towards ELO, so no you didn't have a better record.

better record than ICK (26-5 vs 26-6) but can't complain being behind rangers having lost to them. Would have liked to get a crack a ICK.

I would have liked a shot at Logzilla.

my lb still does not have below a 5.0 fort life suck. senpuku

Yeah I kept waiting for that matchup.

Fear Factory didn't renew? I wasn't expecting that.
