If you've got a 28-rated pass blocker and you're throwing lots of passes, especially long ones, expect to have your QB on the ground a lot.


I'm curious about the two 70+ yard bombs. Did those come on broken plays? Or were they legit bombs?

... that the new engine is addressing this type of game planning.

Specifically, 0.4 = Seattle 113, Jacksonville 7. 0.4.1 = Seattle 28, Jacksonville 22.

I apologize for not following context. I was under the standing that Seth was the last to reply.
My bad

They were long passes ... that's pretty much all Seattle had in his game plan.

The average weight of my starting 5 o-line was 269 lbs... suffice to say it's going to be a painful season for me, haha.

Get those lard asses signed Up!

Yep, all those fast TE and FB linemen converts are now useless.

Wow, we need this owner in MFN-1. I'm actually quite curious to see what the 0.4.1 engine does with his game plan.


Yeah, the familiars system alone would destroy this gameplan.

IDK about that my line ten pounds heavier and does ok. Middle of the pack scores but my backs are Slightly better . Still I only remember getting shut down by black flys. But my smaller linemen won me a few games. My tackles have sub 40 run block. Counters pitches worked pretty good. Still a run heavy team won the big game. I bet you could still use 200 pounders. It's all about the push.....not necessarily the ability to run block.
