I expect that bort considers the sim is fine, builds are now just built to counter the run.

Well, Hazy seems to think it's fine, so we're pretty screwed.

I didn't say it was perfect - there's still room for improvement, but it's soooooo much better than last season. You actually have to account for more than one play now.

True. It's just fixing one thing and blowing up 3 others, that's all. I'd rather have neither of these seasons really, but that just may be my bruised defensive ego talking

Big Heart FTW? Or actually FTL?
I regret not advising the Pounders to use it. Lost Time, Spiked, and I thought it was way too cheesy and actually didnt think we'd be getting massacred like this.

That alone doesn't make it better. Having to account for it is one thing; Being simply *unable* to account for it is something else. Example:
SDL has a VERY large amount of depth. Presumably they have their dedicated ST unit loaded up with the special teamer VA. For a team that does not have the luxury of that much depth (and that many selfless players willing to play STs, devote their build to special teams roles, and possibly take a hit in experience because of it), countering it is extremely difficult. There is no way to force a kickoff to avoid the return man, and there is no way to force a fair catch.
SW's passing game is good. But for Hugh Laurie to be able to throw for 700 yards on Dryden and then 800 on SDL, 2 excellent and evenly matched secondaries, that's just absurd. Zone coverage is useless, and even with DPC it is impossible to cover everybody heavily all the time - single coverage will happen somewhere. Throw in big heart on a receiver, and you now have something that they have to account for, but can't.

That won't work - it's been tried. He pretty much destroys any zone and has always done it. If you look at preseason with CCCC, they were playing 11 in zone against 5 wide, with cover 4, and he was still completing 25 yard bombs on it.

well I can already tell you that next season dedicated ST units will be a thing of the past because Bort is going to implement a maximum roster size.
