okay so i was playing a guy that was rolling with the ravens and using i think the run heavy playbook, anyways he had a mean run game as he was rotating mcclain, mcgahee, and rice, he came out passing at first so i got into my 4-2-5 package so my OLB's (SS's) could run with his slots but then he changed it up and went straight smashmouth football between the tackles and i was struggling, so i went to what i call the "monster package" and heres the setup:
RE- darren howard
DT's- broderick bunkley & mike patterson
LE- trevor laws
LOLB- trent cole
MLB's- your choice if you want bigger guys i would go stew and J.T. if you want more speed i would go akeem and spoon
ROLB- chris clemons
CB's- asante samuel & sheldon brown
FS- sean jones
he was mainly running to the right and parker was getting eaten alive so i put laws out there and i didnt have a problem on the edge the rest of the game, in this formation i can throw fastballs from anywhere its a really beefed up defense as you have
alot of defensive lineman on the field, i put SJ up top cuz of his hit power and strength against the run, i only go to this if im having trouble with the run, this is NOT a pass defense, its meant to be stout against the run. this is what i use against run heavy guys and its worked for me, hopefully it can help some of you out as well.
