Warrior General Games

As every single time we play, GG Shockers. It is really starting to amaze me how, no matter what Bort does, no matter the recruiting classes we have, our games always are flat out wars that could go either way.

As is our other long standing tradition (since I don't think there has been a single ssn we've been in the same league that we haven't played twice), see you in the POs. I'm sure it will be another nail biter. You guys are pure class, top to bottom, in every way.

The thing is... the pass is there at times, it's just not consistent. We actually outgained the Gamblers by 30 yards today, and had 0 turnovers, but you couldn't tell by looking at the scoreboard.

This is what I'm talking about.... really, the ROLB is in position to make a play with a good reaction. 60 Vision, and rush focus should ensure a good reaction to a rush play. However, the ROLB freezes, then actually runs away from the play initially. Unless you're blitzing on the weak side with a weak shift (that'll work well against Strong I!), if the ROLB reacts like this, it's game over.

GG Marauders. That was very tough sledding offensively today. You guys can really hit. Glad we got out of there, and good luck until the prayoffs!

The only thing I could think of is that he bit on the fake to the HB?? If you think of the play as a QB option where the QB is holding the ball in the HBs gut while reading the DE it is possible that the LB though the HB got the ball and was heading toward the hole hence the pause and move toward the LOS. Just a thought.

Exactly. When the Qb goes 50% passing and the running game averages 4 ypc it still results in a punt basically every other drive.

I'm done playing with the passing game. Speed receivers are practically useless and the TE works but only when the QB does so that is inconsistent, the HB works if he has high speed, agility, catching, vision and has focused VAs to agility, track star or scat back and you use him at the FB position and your QB doesn't get sacked then that works ok.

On defense our LBs have great builds on paper but we are just a hair too slow to shut the TE and scat backs down and we are just a hair too weak to stop the power backs.

Fuck it. You guys are about to see a heavy dose of run from the Cs the rest of the season. If you don't like complain to Bort about this shit fucked sim.

GG OTR - when I saw a three game stretch of CCCC, OTR, and Washington I was honestly hoping to win 1 of those. To win two definitely means that we've turned the corner I think.

Yeah... You guys are there... Great defense today, and even though we knew it was coming... Until LB's quit standing in their spot (and occasionally running away from the play after the rusher has turned the corner), it's gonna be tough to stop that QB rush without leaving your D majorly exposed in other places.

Right, he's a huge weapon. I don't overload on him because it's easy to stop the QB run but his biggest value is in keeping teams honest. If they load the middle, he'll burn them - if they load the QB run, we have the backs and line to go up the gut. tbh I'm surprised more teams don't employ it (I should keep my mouth shut but it's not like it's a huge secret).

not a huge secret... just so few of them available at this point in the sim....

I'm there Pierre... There was one play in particular that I knew would get 5-6/carry, but I tried to just run a realistic game for once, because I feel kinda guilty for how things have gone so far.... lesson learned.

GG there BSB. I'm happy we keep the colours, but even happier with the win lol

Hardly fought win tbh
You guys put up a fight in that field!

I try and run a multitude of plays as well (I even threw on first down a couple times today) but in key situations I go with what I know will work.
