Can somebody please tell me how you set up your defense against an opponent who passes all the time (over 90%).

I tried putting 2 cornerbacks on each wr this week and still gave up 380yards against the throw.

Any ideas?

Bear in mind, Allianza is a fantastic passing team (NA beware), you did well to hold him to just 24

Pass tacklers are CB, LB and SF, you need to put in as many of them as you can. How about DE NT DE OLB MLB OLB CB FS SS FS CB also called 3-3-5

Or you can go with the nanzy panzy 2-4-5.

and how about successful 3-1-7 ? :>

I'm deadly serious:

DT NT DT MLB + 3 SS is great against run
2 CB + 3 SS + 2 FS prevents from giving up big plays on pass

With team that plays all pass, you can go DE NT DE to create some pressure


I guess the best way to play against pass is DE NT DE, 2x CB, 2xFS and you got 4 positions left. My opinion is two SS and two OLB. Then you can stop even Badgers, I hope

haha, but 3-1-7 sounds good, need to run a test asap
