Calling an overload in this game is asking to be intercepted. Sometimes you just can't help it in red zone scenarios.

To me that not calling an overload it ends up one because of the end route logic. Thats a bug to me. The wr1 ended his drag route after 10 or 15 yards. The logic at that point always seems to send them back in the other direction. It pays off , not under 4.5, but older codes I would rely on that drag route which turns into a giant zigzag route to the other side.

This end route logic doesn't favor the offense in most senerios . If the qb buys time and rolls right that deep slant could open up but the running back would continue down the sideline right to the same spot. .

Real life receivers should improvise a bit coming back to the qb looking for soft spots or reading the Dbs and going over the top. Our guys are going to predestined spots not matter where defenders are and qbs rarely scramble so all that might be for another release .

I think it really hurts certain schemes that highlight certain types of players. Here the offense is at a clear disadvantage once the route ends and the qb has to make something out of it..either from good coverage or good pressure by the defense .

Speaking For passing only these end route senerios / lack of qb scrambling are among my top five code offenders right now. It would/ shoulD get the offense at least 30 more yards a game, pending scheme application . They might throw an int too, but it's a boom or bust stlye.

Red zone seems equally hurt offensively or defensively by the lack of feild available . Almost if guys don't use or not use the sidelines to their respective advantages .

Good ploay by the OLB on a flat zone defense (especially with a 38 zone rating :D)

Safety in good position, but takes a bad angle and the slant pass is completed.

That first play is a flat zone but it's the MLB playing man on the FB that makes a good play . 79 to 69 speed and the young LB had even worse man (in the 20s) than zone. His punish was worse as well. What off here is the OLBs in the flat zones are almost 20 yards down field when the pass is thrown. That's way too deep.

The play ending in "929" Definitely has the FS taking a poor angle, but this is where I think it should happen from time to time. Only cause that FS has great athletic ability but his zone technique is on the lower end.

I am in agreement that he shouldn't have tried to pick it off and give up the td. Having him play it deeper (poorly still) than he should have and instead of trying to make a big play would have allowed the catch but not the td. I would be OK with that outcome as well.

The mlb has to react quicker once that ball is in the air, and the wr takes a weird angle after the catch and gets no more yards ?

I still, don't see why the CB2 does not try to make a play on the ball once the ball is thrown. The LB in hook there stopped pursuit once the pass was thrown and the only other guy within distance of making a play is the nickel back in the flat designation . He tried to cover him and failed, but the target wasn't to the flats anyway, so why was he the guy trying to make a play? .

Not a bad call or throw vs. this defense but how and where it happens looks real bad. Because zone doesn't obey which side is strong or weak...the slot on the right is the easiest completion, but the qb had his head the other way.

If you're gonna force it in that seam, where there might have been a soft spot, the spacing of the defenders there would have to been more spread out. But what I saw was we had that covered and some how blew it.

Here's a LBer in good position , but once the pass is thrown he stops and give up too much room to recover by the time the ball gets there.

Not the best defensive call but the MLB in hook should have released the TE to the wlb or SS a bit sooner. The LBer has 79 zone, and the offense had an advantage due to our zone rotation to the othere's side, but the underneath says hook right for both LBs. Only one was on the right side and he only made to the hash mark

The SLB drifted away from the target , only to pursue once the pass is caught .

A nice looking play, but why is the SLB just drifting away even when the ball is in the air?
