Random WW two cents....


The drop of the play has done little to owners who were competently running defenses prior to the change.

I don't really see any of my teams heavily affected. I'm not following all of this hate in the drop of the play.

I also think it is fine that it was dropped asap vs after the season

That **** was weak ss ****. ANY owner over using it, and specifically running their defense in it, should have also gotten axed in my opinion. A little slap on the wrist to let them know their simple mindedness is not appreciated.


Also, I feel like I have a series of defensive plays that are good enough against 212 that I've never felt the need to lean on a single play. That is weak. Sooooooooooooo weak.


Wasn't too bad in this league, but in another league the plays got cut the day of a playoff match and if you were playing someone who ran FZ a lot you basically had to guess what plays they were going to run on defense. That was my main issue with the removal.


That sucks!

I could totally understand that. D didn’t really think of it in that context.

I think he's talking about the 4-3 Double WR3 as the new Flat Zone. I could be wrong. Either way, it's not in my playbook.

Calling a play alot doesn't make it an exploit. He probably had a rule to call that during run formations since 41 of the total 50 or so times he called it...the opponent ran the ball.

They still averaged right at 3.5 per carry on those 41 Rushes which isn't exactly great especially considering every run was run keyed.

A competitive owner would destroy him!!!

Agreed.

I see it as having high success through multiple games. I guess I generally would wonder why? Using the same play to hold teams under 3 ypac seems fairly significant.

More significant is that this owner seems to look for those types of plays, which is why I monitor his games. He was almost solely running olb zone before it got booted.

Oh and then let's also check out that pass success against same play.

There are so many owners in MFN now who are looking for those spam plays. I'm sure it was always like this to an extent, but it seems worse now.
