Oh, something about the playoffs? You're probably right about us not making the playoffs. Too much roster attrition finally caught up. That'll give you a chance to finally catch up and tie us on league trophies though, so good for you. I'm not certain that bullshit tick 27 uncontested sacks from Cover 3 Tiger are going to work against Minnesota though.

The guards you line up on that play have 11-12 Sprinting and approx 25 Quickness, they probably are never going to pick up the blitz especially if you run it on 3rd and 16.

Singleback TE Drive completely destroys Tiger Blitz and here is why. The LB doesn't have a free run at the QB like he does under SG TE Drive(which is pretty decent as well), this leaves the QB plenty of time to hit either WR1 or WR3 which both are wide open for an easy 10 yards. You can also put in any route in which the HB runs towards that blitzing LB because its going to slow him down giving him more time. My Guards pick up the blitz much better than yours and its because they have more Snap Reaction and are quite a bit faster than yours.

It's not like I don't call TE Drive or WR Screen. SB TE Drive is 5 pips and SG TE Drive is 3 pips in the playbook. I should've 5 pip'd WR Screen instead of it's typical 2 priority.

I do have a more mobile Guard, and he's been moved to starting LG to try and stymie this a bit in the future. I'd previously retired my other two self-built highly mobile guards because they weren't necessary, and having higher PBT/PBP builds was more useful to combat spin cyclist builds. That's probably regrettable now.

We looked pretty fantastic offensively if you remove 11/24 with 5 sacks against Cover 3 Tiger. It's better than DAG was in it's prime IMO. Quicker to the QB, and only requires 5 pass rushers. Had it not been for rattled existing, we'd have eaten double digit sacks for sure on just 24 plays.

ya that was brutal all around. Just too many games in a row to plan for while getting drunk.

You are overreacting, DAG in its Prime was unstoppable for the most part and EVERY team could run it. It's not like you weren't beating the play, but throwing the ball on 3rd and 16 probably isn't the smartest answer and 2 of those sacks you were sacked by the NT and LDE.

Not even close.

What's the fastest time to sack you can find on DAG replays from back in the day or against 5WR today?

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that there's not been any DAG sacks as quick as tick 26-28. Getting sacks that fast usually requires a perfect first tick type Spin Cycle with a Defensive Tackle.

The only thing stopping Cover 3 Tiger from sacking me 12+ times in that game was Rattled. Rattled came after DAG's blitz priority got nerfed to only still be useful against 5WR formations. And DAG blitzed 6 bodies. Cover 3 Tiger only needs 5.

DAG was nerfed way before it made it close to vet (seasoned/journeymen iirc). Therefore LBs had no where near the speed of those at Vet, therefore you can't really compare the 'ticks' imo

You can try to spin it all you want, but Cover 3 Tiger and DAG aren't in the same galaxy. Every team in the game and at all tiers active at the time could run DAG effectively. Most teams who run Cover 3 Tiger are going to regret it big time because it is easily beatable and you need very good luck to use it effectively. (i.e. Teams running WR Posts on 3rd and 16)

Not only this. But it also came from all sides making the QB virtually useless. Cover 3 Tiger gives up huge plays over and over. DAG basically had a very small counter set.
