He was a league page sitter turned dominator. Initially, it was plop down on a page and copy my work (self-admitted) and then branched out to where he dominated and did a more complete game plan. There's been others with less drive and ability whom have faded out of the game. I don't look much for it now (I'm in and out of leagues) but in the past it was a thing when others would want to decipher the simplified game plan and stream the FL Hitch.

Holly gained my respect as one of the best of his generation, 4343 was a Crusty the Clown that copied setherick's posted two defensive play touts. (Man OLB Flat Zone and the once cheese ball advantage gap sack play)

This, if I recall correctly.

Play: 2 Deep Man Under
Formation: 46 Heavy
LB: Man
Sec: 2-Deep Man

I’ll be honest, a lot of my 4.5 offenses were copies of “the Holly offense.” It was, in my opinion, the best MFN offense. Might look simple on the surface but the way Holly used the matrix was brilliant.

I wouldn't play a game where you can spam 2 offensive and 2 defensive play calls and win a championship. It would bore me to death with less depth than checkers.

Holly’s offense was a lot more than FL Hitch. He used that play wisely but it wasn’t the entirety of the scheme. A lot of his offense was based around ball control and avoiding overuse penalties.

I found my new 4343 in an MFN-# League.

1-leaguer. Those guys can be lethal. They got the jaws of life cinched in + for awhile I have a conscience and don't want to take their joy. Now, though, tired of the two defensive play move that shouldn't have worked. A normal defense clowned my pounded for an entire season HB Flare for a Pick 6 loss in the Conference Final. (-43 and -50% familiarity on the two plays and I was like hmm, you know, time to get this guy)

94/400/800 slash line isn't enough. I still got work to do.

Holly was a 10/10 difficulty level to beat in the playoffs. He dug in deep and with determination. I had him and Thanos pegged as the next Mt. Rushmore guys.

Alright, I saw it was cut down week and went back to sleep. Now it's Classic Rock and bang out before the mean dispersal draft attacks today. :)

Smirt, I just saw JDB lurking in MFN-1 this morning.

After CJ's comments when JDB moon landed on MFN-2 for a day I'm more apt to believe he data collects rather than out-right toys with things.

A lot of my pissed off nature and Greg experienced it recently ...when you lose like 5 Title Games in a row and you know, in my case, like 2 of them there was no way - you get really angry with each loss. By the time it hits a 4th title game loss in a row you hit the roof. On the 5th you're honestly ready to fight someone. Things have changed now but in the past Title Games were whacked out to go bonkers and spit out any result.

...

JDB's data collecting comes out in the AI opponent. FB Dive became prominent on one side of the ball and on the other AI pounds Man Flat OLB Zone and the Nickel Cover 2 Man Under as the lead plays when they're available. He net catches the elite's effective strategies and places them into the AI team's play usage....lead plays.
