ORIGINAL: nmleague I decided to play around with the play design feature. Designed an offensive play based on the I formation left. Simple play, the FL goes in motion until he just passes the OT on the right and the ball is snapped. The FB and HB both lead to just outside the right OT and pass block. The QB drops back and does a slight role to the right. The TE on the left goes straight up the center of the field. The SE on the right does a slant. THe FL that went in motion, does kind of a loop pattern, angling toward the sideline and then deep. Ok I did some practice vs set defenses. Many times the QB was sacked, but almost every time the FL beats the coverage deep. So if the QB can get the ball off its a long gain, all he needs is about 3.5 sec.. So I thought I would try to work on a defense that I thought could take care of this. Started with a base 43 defense and went with a rotation to a 43 zone. The DB on the side vacated by the FL rolls deep 1/3, the deep DB on the side moves to the deep 1/3 zone and the DB on the side the motion is coming to takes the deep 1/3 on that side. Underneather coverage is not a problem. So I load up the offensive play vs this defense. The Fl had no trouble getting deep on the DB playing the deep 1/3 zone on that side. So I decided to go in and have all 3 deep coverage guys move even deeper. Even though the DB is moving back the FL blows by him as soon below. I hope doesnt indicate problems. I noticed this too on a stock play. Seems the safeties have a problem when the zone is flooded, i.e. two players in there zone like a TE and a WR. In real life they almost always take the deep guy, sometimes jump the TE if they are guessing. I tried having the safety move back a couple of steps after the snap then do a "Read" command instead of zone coverage. This lead the safety to more often than not run with the deep reciever so he is double covered. Give it a shot.
