Play Overuse and Familiarity
by GrandadB @ 9/23/2026 4:23 pm
This thread is for posting plays that you see overused in a game without the overuse penalty being used. Or the opposite, a play that was not heavily used and gets the penalty. Also when scouting an opposing team and you see a play that your team has ZERO familiarity with, even though you know that you have played against it previously. And anything else related to extensive play use, lack of familiarity, et al.

I will start it off with the following..........

scouting Green Bay, all of the Double WR defenses have ZERO familiarity, and I know that my Bronco team has played against them previously, a couple of them extensively. In each case, the red bar line does not match the % listed on the play card except for zero.

1. Play: Double WR1,Formation: Nickel Normal, Off Familiarity: 0%

2. Play: Double WR1 ,4-3 Normal, Off Familiarity: 85%, Def Familiarity: 6%, In Playbook: No (no red line familiarity, only on the play card, this was the only play out of the four that showed familiarity on the card but not on the scouting red line.

3. Play: Double WR2, Nickel Normal, Off Familiarity: 0%, Def Familiarity: 31%
In Playbook: No

4, Play: Double WR2, 3-4 Normal, Off Familiarity: 0%, Def Familiarity: 1%, NO

all four Double WR defenses have "In Playbook: No" in common.

From my defensive plays in gameplanning section, last game.

Play: Man Cover 1, Formation: 3-4 Normal
In Playbook: No, Off Familiarity: 0%, Def Familiarity: 89%

Avg Per Call: 1.5
Times Called: 19

Play was used 19 times with no overuse penalty, opposing offense has ZERO familiarity even though this def play is one of the most used across all leagues and teams. The "In Playbook, No" designation is there again, is this the reason for the abnormality?
