My team has a good defense player wise but we lost to three teams that we are even or better than them and they beat us by 100+ margin of victory. My guess is that since this is my DC's first season he's not sure what to do, but with players like we have I don't think it matters. PM me with help.

you team was outmatched in level and depth in the last 2 games and outmatched in depth in the first one....

you need backups to win in this game, otherwise your starters tire thoughout the game and a loss is the result.

Welcome to GLB...get used to it

At a quick glance... first, zone defenses are not working this season.

Second, It looks like you have some decent talent... but you're running a 3-4 and from what I saw you don't have the right builds for that... your DEs need to be very strong and agile to take up multiple blockers to let the LBs make the plays...from what I saw, they looked they may be trying to be pass rushers... that should be secondary for them. Same with your DTs... they need to be nose tackles... strong, strong, strong.. speed and agility secondary.

Your inside LBs should be strong as well.. because they'll be getting Cs and Gs... OLBs need speed and agility mostly... although I like mine to be pretty strong too, cuz they get OTs occasionally. With safeties... they need to be good tacklers obviously... but I would get their speed and agility up first... to chase down runs to the outside.

Agility is very important in GLB... needs to be very close to the speed number... within about 10 or so imo.

Aside from zone pass defense.. the schemes weren't that bad... although you need to get some plays that specifically defend sweeps, etc.

Anyway, that's just my opinion.

I'd go for a 4-3 and make sure ALL your D-linemen wear strength gear no matter what their specialization might be. That Robyn Rechter DE got pancaked 50+ times in your last game- they might as well not even be there. I suspect they are wearing all +speed or +agility gear. Your RDE looks very strong and you should make him the LDE to stuff the slam/offtackle a lot of people like to run.

yes, you have a higher APV than some opponents but as mentioned ... a severe shortage of personnel

maybe you need some MOJO

sorry for comming off soo negative earlier but if you look at your games you will see that in a majority of your losses you are giving up the most points in the 2nd qtr..... without seeing your AI this would lead me to believe that it is due to your guys getting worn down..... then by the 3rd and 4th qtr the blowout penalty is being applied to the opponent therefor making it more of an equal looking game.

another thing to try and fix is your team chemistry...JT

Another thing you probably don't realize is... you have a good HB and a good Oline... why are you passing 60+ times and running under 20 times.... You averaged 20 mins TOP last 2 games... if you can't control the ball... your defense will get worn down.
