How do you guys think i did. I went defensive as you can see and i can run a lot of 1-5-5 with these players

yo keep breaston you already got a sure handed wr in roy you need a big play guy and breaston can be that

i was gonna keep both of them and try to get crabtree 2. i was thinking of trading ray rice for crabtree what do u think?

well then you'd have no running back i say keep both WRs because roy is the same type of WR as crabs but alot taller and more athletic but i know your a niners fan so thats really all on your preferences. but f you do trade for crabs i say trade roy instead of rice

crabs can break more tackles then roy thats why i wanna get him but i understand what your saying. now i just need to find myself a solid offense playbook that i like and play solid d

I did my own slow motion study of the defensive line. I spent many hours and went through many players to find these simple facts out on my own.

Finesse moves are needed for pass rushing
Power moves are needed for run stopping

With that in mind your defensive line, with the exception of Aaron Curry are weaker than you may think. Especially Red whom if my calculations are correct will not be able to pass rush with a 50 Finesse rating.

From my observations strength had no significant impact. Again, this was just from my own observations.

You could easily run a practice of your own, I believe this will test true.

On the other side of the ball you did pretty well, a very balanced Run Block strength and footwork with Pass Block strenght and footwork, on your O-Line. I think that running on the right side between the A Gap or B Gap will work well. And this sets up well for the Goalline formation. A must in any game.

I see what you are saying capncrunch. I am planning on using 1-5-5 a lot in this franchise hence i have so many fast linebackers.

I played my game last night and lost 13-10. Guy had a good defense i just threw 2 picks inside the redzone . I did however rack up 5 sacks and a pick and had his whole o outa wack and completely shut down his run game.

i was lookin at your d again and i really do like the d you got and im guessing you run the NYJ pb so do you stay in the 1-5-5 all gm?

You definately have an awesome linebacker and cornerback group, no doubt.
