its ok but might confuse ppl cause some defences have a "will" linebacker.

Well my last thread turned into a ridiculous argument about LB nicknames, so we're not going that route again.

What I would like to see done is the ability to designate a Strong side and Weak side OLB who will play on the appropriate side, as opposed to Right and Left who will be facing a mismatch when the offense shifts the TE. Don't worry about naming the Sam, Will, Mike or whatever, just Strong and Weak.

This is a MUST with the new Offensive AI option to flip the TE, if not done then your OLB's will be forced to change rolls any time the OC wants putting them out of position. Another occasion of this going back would be LB shifts. If you want to blitz the weak side on say 3rd and long then you may set an output to 3-4 Weak Shift, blitz ROLB and RILB every time. Under the current system, the offense could simply move the TE to the left side. Without Strong and Weakside LB's however, your ROLB and RILB will now shift to the NEW strong side (right) and blitz right into the TE with little to no chance of getting around the edge.

No name calling this time around, play nice!


Good post. I said the exact same thing last night and it really needs to happen before this season or our LBs and blitzing are going to be completely screwed up.

Actually the flipping of TE's was a brutal idea. This fixes it though. Also the TE should determine strength.

By having both you have a ton of strategy involved.

That is most insightful what all was posted there and I have just quoted and I completely agree with it. Really, I just agree with it so much that I felt I needed to take the time to tell everyone else how much I agree with it and, in doing so, hoped to show some kind of appreciation to the poster that I have just quoted by copying his post and making this short post of my own, as well as tell the rest of the community my thoughts on the matter.
