FB Cross Screen {Weak I)

is by far the worst play in the game.
there is no other possible result to the play other than a loss of yardage.
calling this play is literally throwing a drive away... a couple years ago
some of us tried to have this play changed but it was a no go-
apparently it is supposed to be a forced screen pass, even though
not a single blocker responds to it; they just entirely ignore the HBs existence...
odd

yeah i seem to remember it being a good play for a minute before it became a screen pass

Well that's not true.

On FB Cross Screen? It is. I tried that play right from the start because it looked like a great route combination, but it was always coded as a screen with no other receivers possible.

I agree that any TE screen pass is a train wreck. I've used the FB cross screen at lower levels and it works about 15% of the time.

Which patterns work all depends on the defense you're facing.

FB cross screen is a screen. It is absolutely impossible to make anyone besides the HB catch the ball.

Yes, I know - I've tried setting progressions on it to no avail. It only works when the ROLB is blitzing and the FS is backing up.

This is my recollection as well. I don't think this was ever untrue.

FB cross screen and the TE screen are both completely awful at WL or high Pro level....both can work surprisingly well at much lower levels.

There are quite a few plays in fact that are just unplayable at high levels but work at lower levels.


A lot of the plays noted in this thread *can* be useful if you are scouting a very specific defense.

I wish they would change the FB cross play from being a screen given that the routes are so deliciously appealing.

I'm pretty sure there was a bug at some point that caused the QB to act like it was a normal pass play.

Think it was related to holding in the HB/FB to block.

No, because I tried that along with taking the HB out of the custom progressions. That play has never done anything but throw to the HB.

I posted p much this idea in Suggestions eons ago. I said either characterize it differently, or just get rid of it. that thread died of course.
