Ok i took a look at a TINY bit of the play by play just randomly...

Your DC calls a 335 against the SB formation, and the team you played used the SB formation A LOT...which is why so many 3 man fronts were called....

I never found a spot in the game where two 4-man fronts were played in a row...

But to make a long story short, your player will not see any action unless your DC calls two 4-man fronts in a row.. and that is the crux of your problem.

That is the problem. (maybe only a problem against the SB formation though, which the team you played HAPPENED to run alot of)

edit: also your DC runs 3 man fronts against other things.... so far from what I have seen he only uses 4 man fronts against 2WR formations, like I-form, strong I, weak I, etc...

The 4 man fronts are the only ones where you get a DT and a NT playing at same time, which is what u need two of in a row to get playing time...so if you go thru the game and find a spot where two 4-man fronts are called back-back and you STILL dont go in, then I will not know wtf is going on....


Well, the one example (above) from our second preseason game, we started the game with eight straight defensive plays. We played all of them from a four man front. All the other DLine postions rotated perfectly.

BUT...the DT position didn't rotate...the starting DT played 8 plays in a row.

The owner said the setting was the same for the first preseason game, the second preseason game, and the first regular season game (he said he didn't make any changes).

That is actually repeated quite a bit during the first two games...where even on four player fronts, the starting DT plays every down.

take a look at your 1st reg season game....

I didnt bother with your scrim game but if your owner is running 99/1, what i said is true.

What you're saying there makes good sense and I'm glad you explained that for future reference. And that may well be a contributing factor.

But it seems as if my DT should get at least ONE play in there somewhere if we play 8 four man fronts in a row. Check this play by play.

Here, the starting DT plays 8 straight plays. But all the other DLine positions rotate perfectly...every other play.

I posted up a link for you.

And I can't tell you how appreciative I am for you to take the time to help me.

I wish there was a way I could repay you for your effort.

It sounds as though there are two problems here. First, the multiple 3 man fronts. Second, I don't think the setting is 99/1 as advertised.

All this means is that probably it isnt at 99/1 (perhaps, as I didnt verify this)

but the 3-man front info i gave you stands

Thanks. I totally believe you. But therein lies the problem as I see it.

I'm being told the setting is the same for all the positions and that doesn't really seem to be the case. That is very disappointing to hear. I really thought my team management was being straight with me here.

But it seems as though someone is being somewhat less than truthful.

What you are saying makes very good sense too.

Does your team need another DT???

I'll probably try to find a new home.

The very first eight defensive plays of the game. When everyone is still fresh.

THAT is definitely not 99/1 man...

edit: if it was 99/1 you wouldve each had 4 plays

edit: that makes it easy to see, it is much harder to see in your reg season scrim, as i couldnt find two 4 man fronts in a row...(i dint look too hard)
