I've been afraid to axe him because I know someone will want him.

Especially by the Weak I off tackle play. And to be particularly honest, they aren't all that great strong either.
5-2 Cat Blitz 2 Roll gets blown up by off tackles and weak side runs. Some teams can get away with using 5-2 though and do alright. Para's teams generally do well from 5-2 for instance.
C1 Wide Dogs is bad if there is no pull because you just surrendered everyone at the LOS and none of those guys are reaching the backfield. Plus you left the middle wide open so it was a bad choice all around.
This is the experience of Vet that I have had facing QCBC, Minnesota, WCW, and Ground Assault regularly in scrimmages over the last season or so. A lot of those plays work much better in the earlier stages of the game because there are a lot more failed blocks and made tackles at those stages.
The two Cover 3 plays are the worst of the bunch, but they're still good at not giving up long runs.
My favorites are 5-2 Fire Zone 2 and 4-3 Shallow Sam Blitz, but you only need one of them since every one of the slots in your playbook should also have Middle Overload in it for short yardage situations.

If Stixx doesn't sign on soon I may have to think about resetting. I am sure he will come back though.

Fire Zone, 4-3 Shallow Sam, and MO wouldn't go very far against any of the teams I listed off in vet.
4-3 Cover 3 was a real obvious bad last minute choice against Stunners. I would have been better off using LB Contain. Granted that would have also given up some major runs but would have also given me more TFL's.

I agree with this. All my bread & butter plays that I use in earlier tiers don't work very well in Vet. I have had to find other options.

If we lose to LI and QC this season, we are making major overhauls this offseason... Richmond, WCW, and Minnesota made our defenders look silly. I am sick and tired of having my defenders get run over all day
55 mistackles against Minnesota is just insane... IMHO think my defensive playcalling was boderline perfect, just nobody could tackle

LMK if he doesn't... I'll sign your most run-focused CB

Ya, the more people can hold a block and break a tackle, the less a lot of those plays really come in handy. I wish I could use more 5-2 like you guys did against MN but for some reason it just doesn't work as well for me. Maybe I am making some player tactical errors.

Will do. Gonna be sad if he is though as our chem is just finally getting to a great place.

This is exactly why I reset. Zone is very good at getting guys in the right places for run defense but my guys were getting thrown off power runners like flies. Now I have dedicated run stuffers who can tackle....I hope.

Contracts are only seasonal.

Ouch...my "gameplan" failed hard. Since semester started again I cant gameplan for each game and chose some elder tactics and playbooks of me. Gosh, that was the wrong one 
I shoulda at least seen that you run screens.
Anyway, GG. Even with specific gameplan we wouldnt have had a chance. GL the rest of the way

So, I see you're taking the high road.
