So I don't understand what the problem is....if the play would be just as good with a slower player then nothing changes for you. Right?
Correct. Nothing changes for me. My position has been the same since the first time you or AD or anyone else started screaming exploit about McKeon's sacks. McKeon is simply forcing teams to reckon with knowing their offenses are vulnerable even with fast, talent WRs that can exploit most defensive calls.
The 46 has been effective in other leagues with other, slower players. But not nearly as effective as it has been in USFL mostly because of the play calls that McKeon has gotten his sacks against.
This guy has 25 sacks in 9 games:

https://champions.myfootballnow.com/player/2149Regardless, if we meet in the playoffs, I wouldn't rely on a 46 Heavy game plan against your offense. Instead it would look something like this:
113 <- Dime Double WR1
122 <- 3-4 C1
203 <- Nickel Double WR3
212 <- 46 Heavy (it's the only play I have that covers the Hitch effectively, and per the data, I'm going to see it at least 3 times)
221 <- Attack #1 with DB override
311 <- GL 3 Deep Man (I'm willing to gamble that the 311 Draw isn't going to get enough yards)
Don't think that I blindly call the 46 Heavy against every opponent. It's not an effective strategy to win with defense. Just too many GMs have game plans that it is effective against.
