If someone keeps rushing from pass formations in a specific down, would it work best if you set the playbook to prefer rush and also something like 5-3-3?
In the defense example playbook the rush defense formation i had for a specific rush from shotgun is 4-3-4, but if i'm sure a rush will come in that down, would it be best to try something like 5-3-3? Last edited on 2012-04-29 16:12:52 by secretseeker |

Although, I'm not a big fan of the 5-3-3 because it seems the missing safety gives up some long runs (and I don't have the DL for it, imo). 4-3-4 or 3-4-4 might suit your personnel better, and prevent some long runs. Inside the 20 yard line, I don't worry as much about giving up long runs. Also - if he mixes runs and passes from the same formation, an extreme rushing formation like 5-3-3 may give his passing game some big plays. secretseeker wrote:In the defense example playbook the rush defense formation i had for a specific rush from shotgun is 4-3-4, but if i'm sure a rush will come in that down, would it be best to try something like 5-3-3?
Same answer. If you are sure he'll run on that down and distance, and you have the personnel, then go ahead! Good luck! |

Thanks! i think i'll try 4-4-3 since i have better LBs than dls or safeties.

You can also try one formation in 1st half, and another in 2nd half to experiment.
Friendlies are a good time to figure things out. Last edited on 2012-04-30 18:03:27 by Lee1950 |

As Huck Hound said...no real answer to this. Really does depend on personel and choice
5-3-3 you take the chance that your front line can limit more runs but are open to long runs with no SS 3-4-4 for example you cut down long runs but can also give up longer short runs so its harder to stop a new first down. |

Consider 4-4-3 near the goal line (a long run from your 7 yard line is max 7 yards, so 5-3-3- or 4-4-3 don't involve SF often), or on 3rd and short. 3-4-4 might be an option to consider when you are nearer midfield and big plays can hurt you. It also rests your NT/DT, which is nice if they are not a strong group. imo, how you set your Depth Chart is as about important as your defensive playbook.

Well, i think i'll be conservative and stick to 4-3-4 before the 20 yard line except in 3 and 2 where it could be 4-4-3. And inside the 20 yard line against Shotgun 2wr it can be 4-4-3 as well instead of 5-2 which relies on the shitty dl.
