So...we've had a couple of complaints recently about OUTSIDE RUNS and LACK OF BLITZING.
First off Lack of Blitzing.
If you're not blitzing in this game, you're missing the boat...because blitzing (bring 6 especially) is a GREAT DEFENSE TO PLAY. It is very realistic in which the QB needs to recognize it right away and get it to a hot read.
--work on mixing up those defensive playcalls.
--OF COURSE your defense can have an "Identity." If you're identity is to blitz a lot, GREAT...if it is more of a safe defense, GREAT. BUT even with those identities, a HEALTHY BALANCE IS NEEDED.
Now as far as the OUTSIDE RUNS are concerned....If you are playing a good defense and you're trying to run it outside every play...YOU'RE GONNA GET KILLED.
--Having said that though YOU MUST STILL HAVE A BALANCE RUN ATTACK. Do NOT call more than 1 run play a couple times per game.
For instance....if you're calling the STRETCH play more than 5 times in a game...there is something wrong with your playcalling.
....and that includes different formations. Just because you're switching up formations and STILL calling the stretch, doesn't mean its a different run play.
EXPAND YOUR GAME CONTINUALLY, EVERY GAME.
