Familiarity or what?

I am not sure what is driving this players success ?

https://mfn1.myfootballnow.com/player/12248

He is well off in knowledge of most of the blitz plays. Also, he is pretty decent at knowing a variety of offensive plays . .....but that is about it.

And the only reason I brought this up is cause the same team ran the same run play over twenty times.....and my team was the one cited for play abuse.

In my assumptions only .....this whole thing points towards familiarity . If plays are equal in talent I am OK with the unfamiliar losing out. But this seems like an exploit.

I want to change plans every game ...tuned toward my opponents tendency ,but playing vs. This seems to be geared toward the coaches with the most blitzes in toward their book.

Same goes for offensive . ....Running is broke still. 20 /30 t he same/ similar runs should work all the timee over and over. Defenders alignment vs. The 113 if off. Blitzes / rules shouldn't be the way to stop it

Another 6 tackles for Higgins . Also one penalty in 533 snaps .....he has below twenty discipline ? I am glad his cover ability is slightly lacking, but 43 tackle skill is enough or better than his teammates 100 Tackle skill combined with hundreds in other catagories. Perhaps it the power of a run key combined with blitzes . ..? Something is way off yes speed was devalued , but I wanted more for technical attributes . Higgins has none of the above, but is putting up numbers game in and game out.

That is interesting, I can't give a solid answer without some more detailed analysis but I'll keep this in my queue to figure out whether there is a good reason or if it's something that needs to be fixed.
