Gentlemen's Agreement?

Seems to have worked pretty well last season, at least I didn't see any complaints. The fixes we're working on in BETA are not effective ... so far. We renewing this?

The problem I have with it - seems like there's been a run on effective ST players. It's a good problem to have. :)

Those players that could be elites, if just one or two categories would be changed, and if they are fast...........perfect for special teams. But they better have at least a decent tackle rating. I have never used fast ones on the D Line so I dont mean that.

My position hasn't changed...I won't run it on anyone, but I **** sure expect this season that if someone plans to run it against me that they say so prior to kickoff.

Hey Cooter! Our Pre-Season was a great first half tie. Now I do see where I blocked two of your punts in this game. These punts were blocked by two different receivers. I swear that I have never dabbled in trying to put a WR or DB on the line so this positioning was made on special teams by the default AI. Take a look at those two punt blocks. Did I have illegal guys where they are not supposed to be?

Phaldun, I haven't watched it yet unfortunately. Been a bit busy here and haven't had time to study game films much. But, I would probably liken the cause being having guys in my depth charts set up for preseason experience and not managed properly. No worries. It is only preseason, so I ain't fretting it.

And honestly, I know the whole punt block thing is an issue. But no one ever seems to point the whole WR at the RB position to take advantage of the "speed" quirk? Even in the modern spread the field, read option, jet sweep, nonsense . A WR getting 100+ carries for 500-800 yards a season is not realistic either. I do it too, I guess. But is more in terms of the experience /depth thing for when RBs get injured (which is every frickin game,lol). Sorry, guys, just venting there.

The blocks came from the LT position, WRs Brewster and Peterson. If you don't have enough ST Rushers in the depth chart, combined with a low fatigue setting, that's when the AI starts substituting its picks for you.
