Ya.......has anybody been a Professional GM in here ?

If you haven't when you have opinions it's obvious you should be ignored on personnell moves.

And since I've only coached at the high school level, I am not qualified to offer any analytical views about the game so you can put me on permanant ignore.

Wah? Did somebody say something?

There is a permanent ignore button?!!? That must explain why I get so few responses.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

lol what a bad thread. What the hell is the point of a forum then? You don't have to be an "expert" to give your opinion. There are many not so smart people who have great jobs and many intelligent people who don’t even have a job.

Btw, I’m the head coach for Texas Tech.

Does the sport matter??

I've played Madden A defense might as well send all 11 back into coverage on us.

I've never seen that defense called in all the years that I've played madden. is it effective?

I've played that defense. Play a 3-4 quarter zone defense, put the four DBs in long quarters, the four LBs in short quarters, the two DEs in flat zones, and the NT in short zone/QB spy.

Works pretty well against a 2 minute offense, but the computer always completes passes that were covered...

is it listed under the Anti-Packer defense?

Unfortunately, I don't have a new game console, just my PC. So I still play Madden 08. So the anti-Packers defense didn't quite work there.

I play my bro in madden frequently. And - I am actually worse than McCarthy when it comes to not running the football. He actually has figured out basically that exact defense but he'll do it from different personnel groups and formations. It actually works pretty well against me in that scenario. The way to get completions on it is to make sure you use the pump fake before delivering the throw. I've played games with zero rushing attempts. Although with a "chuck it all the time" strategy - you'd be wise to take off with the QB on occasion. Rogers has wheels in Madden.

Never been an NFL coach but I've coached HS QBs at a national QB school/camp.

Yes, but you're not allowed to criticize anyone's technique or position.

Yes, but you're not allowed to criticize anyone's technique or position.

And your PR pals get half off any of your DVDs

I guess.. If you're willing to pay for it.

Re: Playcalling Experts

I've been hearing a lot of complaining about the playcalling around here lately. As such, I'm curious about who really knows anything about playcalling.

List your playcalling experience here. If you've coached in the NFL or with a successful college program, been a coordinator in the NFL or with a successful college program, or befriended someone who was successful at playcalling and learned at the feet of this person, please put it here so I will believe what you say.

Otherwise, I'll know that when you complain about play-calling, I'll just assume you have no idea what you're talking about and are complaining about results (i.e. execution of a play) instead of the play itself.

Thank you.

Next time you make any point about anything in general please list your expertise in said area otherwise I will know you have no idea what you are talking about and are complaining about results.

As a matter of fact, since you are NOT an expert on playcalling you have no grounds to question anyone elses stance or opinion as it could just as likely be correct as incorrect....you should simply remain silent unless you in fact are an expert.

Ok, that being said, I think calling 13 running plays in a tight game where you have run successfully is bad playcalling....but hey, what do I know.
