As the week turns GLB News had a chance to sit down with Runningback Dirty Dirt Diggler to hear the inside scoop on the rumors that he is discontent with Africa, heres what D3 had to say!

D3: I know the buzz is out their and I know we have heard it before. I just don't understand why every team I play for can't understand that I rate 25 plus carrys a game! When I played for comoros they cut my carries so I moved to Cairo. Cairo was clueless and they split my carries with Fetus the Noob for the remaining part of the season! Of course we didnt win shit!

D3 shakes his head

D3: Skip to this season and Cairo still didn't give me the carrys I rate, even though everyone knows rushing is the flavor of the month this season I have been stuck on teams that want to pass! While I put up great yards per carry and could of taken the team the distance, I have got shafted on carrys most the time. So then I'm traded to the trolls!

D3 laughs

D3: Now I said i was interested in the trolls to the media but I never agreed that the trolls was the team i was going to. While I still remained in talks with other teams within the league Will accepts the trolls trade without asking me if that is where i wanted to go! This after the fact he told me he would trade me to where ever I wanted to go!

D3 smirks

D3: So I'm like fine these guys seem to rush a bit, now they have me they will pound the ball on the ground, I'll get my yards, we will win and head to the playoffs!

D3 Laughs loudly!

D3: NOPE, last 2 LOSSES I get 10 and 12 carries a game. Both games I had over 4 yards per carry and the game before i was over 100 plus yards in very little carrys, but instead of giving me the ball and getting the win, they pass like crazy!

D3 shakes his head

D3: I'm really starting to get annoyed and I can't blame the teams, I blame the league. Now I'm going to continue giving it my all for the trolls this season but I must say I'm very disappointed in my carries but I'm to the point where I don't care! Next season D3 will be moving on! It will prolly be out of Africa AA3 most likely out of Africa period! To be frank D3 refuses to sign with anyone who is not going to ensure he gets 25 plus rushes a game! If you want me to share carrys, FORGET ABOUT IT! If you want to blow smoke up my ass on how you will try to get me carrys but can't promise me 25 plus a game, FORGET ABOUT IT!

D3 looks at the camera

D3: WHY O WHY IS IT SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND THAT D3 WINS GAMES! D3 RATES CARRYS! GET IT RIGHT, THAT IS ALL!

OOC; I didn't spell check cuz im in a hurry, and this is kind of a raunt but I'm kind of annoyed! Maybe i'm being a bit of a baby, but nothing annoys me more when I see teams giving other RBs not in my league the carrys I rate, while I have to sit back and get 10 carrys a game, BLAH!

While I think D3's demands of 25 carries a game are a bit excessive and his rant a little overboard, I also have to question why a team with a O-line like that and a lvl 27 running back would run so little. Control the clock, keep your D rested, win the game. Thats football!

I'm wondering that too, since I had it set on 70% run.


Plus D3, you said you'd be interested in playing for us anyway. I set up the sim to run and it doesn't deliver, don't throw me in front of the bus for this action man...

You have no choice but to use the new AI settings. Otherwise the AI will go pass heavy early in the game and abandon the run as long as you're losing. Even if it's only a small deficit, such as seven points.

I know from experience. That shit cost us the UN/Congo playoff game last year.

Just make inputs for:
1st down
2nd down
3rd and short
3rd and medium
3rd and long

Should take about 5 mins. No need for something fancy.

1st down--give the ball to D3
2nd down&short--D3 play action fake to D3 and pass to D3 in the slot
2nd down&long--D3 hits the Tight End D3 over the middle for med gain
3rd down&short--give the ball to D3
3rd down&long--D3 passes to deep to D3
4th down and wherever--D3 kicks the field goal

I'm having a hard time understanding the 'Official'ness of this thread though.

Maybe D3 will use this thread to rant about his future teams instead of starting new ones.

Have you put in inputs that specify what you do when you're losing? If not the sim will automatically air it out.

This could work D3 likes it and if all else fails D3 could punt the ball and run down their and tackle the PR.
