WHats up Guys OK 9's i understand where you coming from. In my game last year with Clev if im not mistaking he would put his DE really wide and sack my QB like 6 times. I have seen people widen their DE's lots of times. whenever they do that i try to bring a extra TE or RB to block. But for now on i wont widen my DE. i really dont think it will matter to much because the guy is a beast anyways.

I'm quilty of doing this in the past...i don't do it anymore because it's to easy...I now only control my DT most of the time...if I do click to DE...my rule is you can only move him so he is half a body wide of the last OL/TE....and imho, you should never be a full body wide in a user vs user game...

just chiming in here. i will shift and widen my d-line splits. however, i will never manually move a de with the thumbstick. wherever they are positioned after the shift, is where they stay. no wider. i think thats a fair rule of thumb to go by. but then again, maybe i'm just talking out my ass.

I think that's a very good, and fair rule of thumb...and will keep stats comparable imho....

yes goat...a great rule of thumb....L1 and up and then leave them there

scott i am on and ready..send invite

yeah thats good goat. In the game i just played I didnt use my DE the whole game i just used my DT and LBs and he still came away with 10 tackles. and 5 for a lost. Hes a beast.

honestly, i really haven't paid a whole lot of attention to sack numbers and all that. i just remember, there was an issue with someone in an o/d that i was in last year. that was the rule they came up with to rectify the situation. there was never an issue after that.

we can advance.

Iowa wins 35-21


Johnson runs for 230 yards a 3TD's( TD runs of 70 & 87 yards on toss plays, I was selling out for the run..and he broke the first wave and was gone with 98 speed)

Key point in the game...was up 10-9 with 8 seconds left in the first half. Decide to squib kick, and his TE runs it up to my 44 yard line..Iowa hits a FG of 60 yards...takes a 12-10 lead..then his next possession in the 2nd half...hold him and he kicks another 60 yards FG...totally changed the momentum in the game.

Ok i'm on and advancing now. So new rule is if u widen ur dline u can't move them past where the CPU puts them when u use the shift. Week 6 is up ppl
