Official Madden '10 Xbox 360 Online Franchise: A World Without Favre

StarCraft is mostly about speed and efficiency. Rushing (attempting to win the game early with a quick group of basic attack units), knowing how to survive an opponent's rush(es), and effectively scouting the map at all stages of the game--those 3 things are the basis of StarCraft.
 
I'm terrible at that. I'd rather build a big ass army and then take people out with unstoppable forces

not that its ever happened in a serious game...

Seriously. :lol



Who doesn't know about the 4-3 and 3-4 by now?
It discusses the different techniques used at the DL. I pinched my DL so they were both consistently 2 technique to hold strong against the run. My FS was down in the box a lot and would be my free runner, the RE would crash the B gap and engage either the LG or LT. If LT, then my ROLB would be free to make a play on the run, if not my FS would handle it. I had major problems getting production out of my ROLB slot in season 3 and this solved it.

This is how I was able to stop tosses effectively. Most people would line up in either an offset I or an offset I with a WR in the slot. No problem with the FB because most would outrun him and the WR in the slot was occupied with the oncoming CB in man to man coverage. If it was a weakside toss I'd get my LB or S down, strongside I was there with my DE to try and stop it. That's why I needed an upgrade from Michael Johnson and also how my boy Davion Kelly ended up with so many tackles/ints. He was in underneath coverage almost 100% of the time.

Where I started running into trouble was against 1-2-2 sets because of the TE in as the extra blocker. I never adjusted, but what I should have done was attack the outside with the DEs, and if it's an inside run hope that the ROLB and MLB could wrap it up quickly.

Speaking of SIM IT, I was watching the second Cowboy game the other day, the one where Sintim got that sack on Romo, they had him in for a lot of that game. He looked like shit in space and slow reaction times. Hopefully the dude works out for us. :|

And here is my "way too early to tell" Top 10 QB's in order. I didn't go by straight QB Rating. A mixture of that, plus TD's and INT's per game helped move some of the players around. Manning's 2.3 TD/1.3 INT's per game moved him a minute amount ahead of English's 2.0 TD/1.1 INT's per game. Though, I'd almost say 1A and 1B for them too.

I'd would place McNabb to #3 or #4, if you added on his 1,375 rushing yards and 15 TD's. Don't think any of the rest of the Top 10 have any attributable rushing talleys.

CB it will probably be Thursday night when we play now...opened my last contact pack this morning and my damn left contact ripped piece of shit. I just spent 20 dollars for overnight shipping on a couple boxes of new contacts, but they aren't showing up till Thursday it sounds like. Won't ship out till tomorrow.

Henne would easily be top 10 if he wouldn't have been wasting away in Miami the 1st 2 seasons. I expect that he'll finally break over 80 OVR this offseason.

You don't need perspective! You don't have a 3D TV. And If you do....you have enough money for new eyes, or at least for a Butler to play for you.

Yep.

I've gotten just about 20+ kills my last few Arena matches only to have the 3rd and 4th members have fuckin 7 or somethin or one of them quits. I've lost like 3-4 Arena matches in a row b/c of that crap.

Luckily my daily score is 1701 for today so the losing only affects the TrueSkill BS. Tomorrow though we need to get on a squad together because I can't have this crap goin against my score :/
