Warrior General Games

In the linked play the QB tosses the ball to the FB for a loss because he threw the ball too early.

The FB was the first guy in the check down.

Now I know I could have another dot earlier in the check down, and did this with the very same play in another package.

The problem, as you can see, is that the QB now spends a long time lingering on that first check down and makes the throw to him, for shorter yards than I would like from the play. In other plays it seems the first check also gets a long look and a high chance of being thrown to, so using a dot downfield is not going to help since it turns a high percentage play into a chancy deep bomb.

So.....what is the fix? I know it works out often. But is there a way to make SURE the unhurried QB does not just bean the RB a second into the play for a loss???

Think its just that play(FB Short Right) Ive had problems with that play forever

Just because it doesn't say hurries doesn't mean he wasn't pressured quickly.

This.

There has always been an aspect of the sim that pressures the QB without recording a hurry. Add to that the hurry pressure felt from fearsome (not this play in particular) and you'll end up seeing a lot of these little passing quirks throughout a season.

My $.02:
Keep a blocking HB in to pickup that DT that squashed your LG to buy a few ticks.
Make the QB more mobile.
Make the FB faster and get 1step.
Pray for a miracle...

if you threw to the HB, he may have went to the house

I think he was third on the checkdown, maybe second. *shrug*

FB was wide open there usually. Scored at least one TD with that play during the game.

if you're going to continue to make these threads than I want you to tell me what you're learning from previous threads. Like the cb thread - what conclusion did you come to

Actually have a reply to you in that one on my to do list.

Conclusion not complete.

Beyond the amazing lightning bolts to make tackles, the CB in question moves much like yours. Wanted to do some comparisons and get your thoughts on the dot and how to contrast and compare replays to really get a feel for it.

As for the stats thing, I decided to pay more attention to the deflections and ignore the allowed info etc.

deflections + KL + (int x 2)/targets

setting the QB's indiv 'HB/FB Dump Pass' to never will help
