Warrior General Games

Can anybody post some examples of HB screens?

For the first preseason game, I only kept plays I wanted to test out. Unfortunately most of them sucked badly. The thing I really wanted to see though were the HB screen plays, but because our offense was so ineffective, we only got 48 plays and none of them got called.

The only ones I saw were posted in the BUGS forum ... not good.

- The HB outran his blockers and never "looped" back.

Thanks.

Here are the WR screens we had. Like I said, embarrassing.

The blocking WR just sits down. He actually had the balls to bring a blanket and a picnic basket onto the field with him.

Also in the BUGS forum ... the QB fades back far too long with the ball.

I tested HB screens as well, and the blockers and the HB were always out of sync.

teach you right. worst place ever to call a WR screen is in the red zone when the CB can sit tight and the LB play underneath zones. Any screen is a surprise attack which must be timed such that the defense is in the wrong formation.

No shit. It's not like I planned it that way.

I think its more due to the fact that they were playing a 3-4 zone
