It's actually called HB direct snap....look for the formation with the TE lined up just off the line of scrimmage and the RB to the right of the QB.

Formation is DBLS WING TE.

Sweet can't believe I missed this. It works rather nicely with the King as well!

Tibrow style!

He finished 4/6 for 92 yards no TDs or INTs and 1 rushing TD.

Luke, I just got home. I'm on xbl whenever you're ready.

Anyone up for a scrim? Need to get back into the swing here.

Jesus... the computer drafted me two centers?????? Jesus Christ I got dicked over :lol

But now you no longer have to worry about every Madden player's greatest fear: losing a stud center. Very few people have such solid contingency plans at center.

Wellie I am free anytime Tuesday. Just let me know when you want to get this week 1 match in!

I have a question regarding manual WR control.

I know it's not allowed or whatever (even though I've yet to see the rocket jump from WR as in years past), but could we modify it a bit?

The rule could stay in effect when it's a fly pattern with man to man coverage or whatever, but what if you lead the receiver and he gets pretty good separation from the defender? Could we take control of the receiver in this situation to give the WR some extra juice to catch up with the ball?

 

[Rorschach]

No.

nope.

offense already has a huge advantage in this game. this is a rule that SHANT be changed

 

[Smokey]

ok

GG Birdman!
See you later this year

 

[Birdman02]

GG Luke....big plays and turnovers won the game for me. I just knew there was too much time on the clock when I scored that last TD. I thought about going down at the 1 so I could kill a little more clock, but I didn't want to risk not scoring the go ahead touchdown.I thought for sure Peyton was gonna lead you down for the game winning score, and I was almost right.

Luke was down by 3 and had the ball 4th and 2 on my 12 yd line with 28 seconds left. I figured he would kick the game tying FG, so I called a timeout to give myself a little bit of time to answer. Instead, he decided to go for the win and this was the result:

Reggie Wayne was killing me all game. I had that motherfucker spotlighted and doubled most of the game, but he was still getting open pretty easily. Thankfully, Daryl Smith (my team captain) made a play when I needed him too and knocked the ball loose.

Okay I should be home at around 6 EST.

Somnia was a good player with the Bengals, now with his natural team I am a little nervous that I won't stand a chance. Then I have Livewire next week who beat me twice last season. Looks like another 0-2 hole to start the season.

 

[Wellington]

Dude you kill zone, you kill blitzes, you kill man to man. I couldn't do anything that game.

Jonsson, I will sacrifice myself by exposing my secretz to give you more ammo. Here's more out of my coffers:

When I was with the Texans I loved splitting Daniels out for two reasons 1) He is a great receiver, better than the Texan slot guy. More importantly, if I ran with Slaton with three wide, he sealed the edge much more effectively than the slot WR. He's a TE, he can block like a motherfucker.

I like setting my audibles... I have my formations that I like to run out of, so what I do, say it's I-Form and I called a toss... one of my audibles is an I-Form run up the gut. If I find myself in a bad situation because of what the d called, I audible to the other run. I also have a toss audible just in case. A lot of times guys love to play me inside because BJac is killer in there, so I call the toss.

Forgot to mention the most important thing.

NEVER give up on the run. Even if you get stuffed early on and can't figure out what is wrong, don't give up.

:lol just wait.....just wait....

 

[AstroLad]

If we're 'vancin' tonight I can probably play after 11 EST GCQ. If not tomorrow after 9 EST should work.

 

[LiveWire]

Wellie, I can play late tonight if we advance, or anytime tomorrow night. But if we don't advance by then, I can't play until Friday as I'm in NYC Thursday.

 

[Nightz]

Denog, what does your schedule look like for today?

 

[Wellington]

Wellie, I can play late tonight if we advance, or anytime tomorrow night. But if we don't advance by then, I can't play until Friday as I'm in NYC Thursday.

Five games including me and Somnia left. I highly doubt we advance tonight.

What you doing in NYC Thursday? (Hopefully not game 7 of the WS. )

 

[Somnia]

Okay I should be home at around 6 EST.

We shall see...It's been awhile since I've played Madden let alone the Boys :lol Anyone up for playing today before I play Wellie shoot me an AIM (Somnia1982) I'd love to get some practice in...at least I don't have to learn my new players since they are all offensive linemen *eyes CPU draft picks =/*

The Yankees better win before Thursday....just for the sake of Fringe returning! Well that and I would perfer them over Philly and I'd like to see Mo get another WS win

 

[DenogginizerOS]

Denog, what does your schedule look like for today?

I should be able to play around 9EST. Does that work for you?

Some conference on intellectual property law sponsored by the government. Mostly just there to keep up appearances with our contacts at the DOJ. Assuming there is a game 7, any good sports bars to hit up around 7th Ave near 53rd? I'll have my car so I can drive around if needed.

 

[Nightz]

I should be able to play around 9EST. Does that work for you?

Any chance we can start a little earlier? Maybe 8:45 EST? We're having visitors over at 7 pm (10 EST) and I don't want to leave them waiting because I'm playing Madden. :lol Or if that's not possible, would you be able to play around 11:30 EST? I know that's kinda late, so it's ok if you can't.

I was just looking over your roster, holy shit will I even be able to pass against you? All your CBs have insane MCV and ZCV ratings.

Looks like it's up to Jacobs and Bradshaw.

I'm gonna be trying out my new 4 RB system :lol I can't believe I have a 88 (barber), 85 (jones), 79 (choice) and 75 (my cpu drafted rookie)

Headed towards 0-1 tonight boys. All Pros versus All Joes all over again.

Jesus Christ. I still like my AP/Fred Taylor combo!

 

[CB3]

Ive got 1 Rb in the 90's and 2 in the 80's. I win!

Awesome, congrats!

Ahem. A true 4 RB system, like mine, features no backs under 80. Rice - 86, Keller - 82, Mcgahee - 81, Mc'Clain - 94 (A FB, but used as a RB is still over 80!)


I saw that the Broncos won with a 69 rated rookie @ QB. I missed it, where did Orton go?

Speaking of drafted, who picked up Kelly James, the #2 QB? I remember the third guy, Dane Morrow, getting pick before James.

Orton is with Lone and the Pats. After Brady went down for the year he needed a QB.

 

[daw840]

BigAT. I am getting off work in about 20 minutes. If you are around this afternoon we can try the rematch again.

I will try to be on around 815/830ish EST. I may have to pause for goodnight kisses for my daughter, but we should be good otherwise.

 

[TheCrow]

Orton is with Lone and the Pats. After Brady went down for the year he needed a QB.

Actually he had to play without Brady for about 4 weeks and I ended up trading him Orton a week before we played each other. Unfortunately, for me, Brady was able to play during our game.

Speaking about RBs. Both Moreno(86) and Makino(73) got hurt during my game against airbrian and I had to make due with my FB Hillis(81 at RB). I need to pick up another RB.

 

[Nightz]

Cool, that's no problem at all. See you then.

We'll see what happens this time.

 

[CB3]

the same thing that happened the past 3 times?

 

[Fifty]

I think Browns/Panthers and Packers/Vikings are the only games I'm not aware of when they'll be played. Two games tonight, supposedly Bob plays on Wednesday (cute how even with an extended deadline he plays on his usual deadline day).

I'm pretty sure we won't need till the initially proposed saturday to finish week one.

P.S: People, pick up the FAs you drafted, or declare that you don't want them. After a while (not sure exactly how long), it'll likely be a free for all. I saw Petitgout that Ram picked, just sitting there. Not that he would have helped Ramirez win, as a backup LT rated 75 only has so much value.

 

[Wellington]

I'm in need of a punter since Feagles retired. I'm taking one when I get home, in case anyone's punter is missing!

I will pick up Schobel and Josh Reed tonight before my game with Nightz.

 

[dskillzhtown]

When will the FAs become public property?

 

[Fifty]

Not until we're sure that everyone has had a chance to claim the ones they took in the FA draft. Basically, just play it safe (However people that weren't dropped in the FA draft are fine as always..i.e: you can pick up Deuce or Shaun Alexander now!)

If there's someone specific you had your mind on, you can search through the draft thread I guess to see who took him and talk to them. I know some people might not care about picking up their 3rd round FA picks.

 

[Lonestar]

I'm not sure, but I don't know if I ever picked up the 7th round pick I was to get from CB. It was "best available" and...maybe it was another HB. CB, any thoughts?
