His 87 pass rush is probably why he's able to do that, but he is beating a 90-rated pass blocker so it's not like the pass blocker is mismatched. Still, that is interesting that he's able to block two punts in the same game, so I'll have to look into what might be the deciding factor.
His team was 3-6 and struggling. They won 7 regular season games, 3 playoff games, &
nearly won the League Championship using this tactic. I'm disappointed in his lack of integrity more than anything.
I just hope you figure out the cause. I was in complete disbelief after the 2nd one.
just so you know,Crazy, that one particular player is the most dominant punt rusher among the 11 teams that I have. And, in the depth chart, it has him at the LB spot on the left, but he actually lines up at the DE spot on the right, with no overides. And what would you have me do? change it up? In the same vein, would you start using half zone coverage type plays in your defense because you thought not using them lacked integrity? i dont think so. Best thing to do to try and counter a particular situation like that is to try a different type blocker, maybe a RB or WR with high pass blocking skill. I recently lost a CC in part to a punt block recovered for a TD, so dont feel alone, its unique to 4.5 along with a lot of other differences vs 4.4 & earlier versions. There is not a blocked punt on every punt attempt, and getting 2 or more in a game is very rare.
Let's keep this in perspective.
Were you using him in the punt block scheme prior to your 10 game win streak? Probably not.
Ultimately, you used an exploit to catapult your team into favorable situations.
Do you want me to bring up the fact that you use
one defensive play
4x's as often as any other play you use in that league? Too late. I just did.
For Everyone Else to Know: The overuse penalty doesn't affect base formations. Maybe that's why you used the Cover 2 Man in the Dime Formation that much more than all the other defensive plays you had called. Idk
You're so helpful to these "new" players & worried about them being screwed over by "experienced" players. I just find it hypocritical that you try to use
every possible advantage you can in order to win.
Spin your defense of your decisions & play style however you want. I just want the exploits exploited. That's what I'm doing. A DB shouldn't make it past a lineman when he's lined up on the line during a punt block.
PERIOD
