QB HB run teams you can have drastic results one way or another calling the same play. It essentially comes down to builds and scheme. If your not geared to stop the run, you can't just call magic plays to stop the rush. I would suggest watching the teams that rush and see what worked for opposing defenses.

Full blitz really is all dependent on what tier your in, in Vet its easy to combat, in rookie, its not easy. It comes down to again what builds do you have to counter it. If you are a rushing team is actually rather easy, if your a passing, much harder but there is always a way to beat a scheme.

I know its vague and broad, but so was your question.

QB and HB runs are stopped very differently, depending on where the runs are going to. Outside QB runs can be shut DOWN by the right CB blitzes, but it varies depending on exactly which formation people are running from.

Against HB (outside) running, the best strategy is often the simplest - not blitzing at all, especially on the lower levels. Just call man base and cover 2 play. Blitzing the LBs has them go after the QB, and if they fail their blitz awareness check, they run right out of the play.

To really be sure what'll work, though, Stobie's right. Watch games - watch the times the team your player has been shut down or slowed down, and run those same plays that worked against them.

I watched a few of the games and they favor both QB and HB runs to the right. I appreciate the input, I think the CB blitz is the way to go mixed with a zone defense.

Make sure your CB1/CB2 players have a bit of Break Run Block. That will help as much as any play in the playbook.

Now I know this game makes QB runs appear OP-

But Furious, you ran the worst plays out of the GL formation. LB contain only stops inside runs out of GL. That is a QB rushing teams wet dream. 2 Strong CB fire or C1 wide dog's would work much better for the Strong rollout. 17 TDs? 970 yards? BBBG is better than that just from the name alone!
