LOD (Scrimmage 2 Season 2)

[Pumchavas28]

With the HEAVY Run game plan... the RB's & FB's had 4 Fumbles...

Only 1 was lost....

And we only had 1 Rushing TD.

[Pumchavas28]

Both QB's completed a MUCH, MUCH Higher % also.

[Pumchavas28]

Terry Venetoulios (http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=91934) goes 4/4 on FG's.... :laugh: 2/2 from 40/49yds out... & 1/1 from 50+....

TV is streaky....

[Pumchavas28]

Against a LEGIT D'Line... the O'Line did pretty good plowing em over...

12 Pancakes, No Hurries, No Sacks, & only 3 Tackles For Loss allowed.

Not bad for a Run Heavy day. :gig:

jamie O was the only player to recover his own fumble...

[Pumchavas28]

Everything else that was not tinkered with seemed to stay as is...

Although this prob means he was in the open field and just dropped it...

We lost 29-20. But we accomplished our goal which was to rush for a bunch of yards against a TOUGH defense. We had four fumbles, but only lost 1. I was impressed not just by the rushing total, but nearly every player with carries rushed for better than a 2.5 yds/carry avg. THAT is impressive against a tough defense. We were efficient with the few passes we threw, with no sacks, no interceptions, and if we had used a more balanced game plan, I am pretty sure we would have won.

Bonus: Terry V was 4/4 FG and 1/1 PAT with 2/2 40-49 yds and 1/1 50+ yds.

Fumble's were the 1 thing I was worried about most going into a Run Heavy Game....

We lost only 1, but putting it on the ground 4 times.... Had that been a real life team we all love or pull for, we'd be pissed as hell at either the players, the RB coach, Head Coach or all 3...

I know there is only so much we can do to take care of that with Attributes & what not....

I'm just curious as to what we can do to help out our RB's & FB's.

[texags08]

well Jamie O's carring is 37 which is prob highest on the team, and he still fum one...

[txags92]

I think that is purely on the carrying skill...although there may be special abilities for RBs that I am not aware of. It may also have a Str component too.

[Pumchavas28]

Strength plays a role with every player depending on what you are trying to do...

Just an example... QB's need to be strong to throw far...

I will look for it, but I am sure strength helps with ball carrying along with breaking tackles... Don't quote me on that just yet....

[txags92]

In Jamie's case, the more he breaks tackles and runs with power, the more likely he will be to fumble. I haven't really seen his fumbling as being a big problem up to now.

We were set to run 80% with 80% being inside runs. That is alot of opportunities for big guys to take a shot at the RBs. No surprise we had more fumbles.

I am satisfied with the outcome as it is proving out that we can pick on an area of a defense and try to exploit it. Last game we showed that it is harder to pick on weak FS/SS by throwing deep if they have good CBs...this game we proved our line can pick on a short depth group of LBs by running hard in the middle.

[txags92]

Damn...Rock almost took the handoff from the QB himself!
