Also random note: Shame on people playing REs/ROLBs at LOLBs/LE since rushing over the RT is stupidly powerful this year.

I want to depth chart perv and list the peasants, but I'm at the office

I stick to Jim Leonard for obvious reasons.


He is white.

Oh, I thought you meant manual. I think I probably have a shitty right OLB there because of injuries. Pretty sure LOLB is Clay's natural position. If not I did it by accident.

In single player CCM my depth chart auto re-ordered and it'd have my LOLB starting at ROLB. Maybe that's what happened to some of the people in this league?

Also, I had fun having a running back this year, but I'm willing to trade Adrian Peterson. Soka already ate his bonus money when he traded him to me, so it's basically just you getting an elite running back with no salary cap penalties.

See me after class with offers. I want picks or players or both.

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.

Wait, do you mean OLBs at DE? Or specifically swapping sides?

I mean swapping sides! I don't care if OLBs go down to DE, I switched to a 4-3 immediately and put Freeney/Mathis back at DE where they belong, I don't understand how to call a 3-4 defense in this game

I don't get it Luke, you mean shame on those dudes for trying to rack up stats?

Doesn't seem like a big deal in my book, especially situationally if you want a faster guy on the QB wrap side for example.

At first, I thought you were serious, you had me going - I was even looking for my Michael Johnson sack numbers image - but then the QB Wrap side revealed the troll

I don't understand the concern on swapping sides, but I haven't done it myself either though.
 
Drizzle what time will you be around?

Debugging code on a Friday might drive me to get out of here early

I'm around. Doing laundry for the next few hours which requires me to go down 4 floors about every hour. Just give me a heads up so I can take a break on that to play the game.





If I have a RE or LE on the opposite side it's gonna be because my best two DEs are listed at the same position. I'm not sure if I'm doing it or not this season but I've definitely have done it in this league. I know my LBs get thrown around all over thru subbing too, but I play a 4-3 and that's more for run D vs pass D.

Actually, now that we're talking about the QB Wrap, Blue was running the read option and I never felt like I had much of an issue with it. In fact I even had my RE dropping into coverage and still had no problem attacking it with my DT manually. He did rip off a couple of good ones tho, when he caught me off guard.

I run the QB wrap and read option alot... people seem to stop it pretty frequently.


Not me! Have fun with tebow next year! :(


Was there ever an advance post? When is the advance post? I'm traveling next couple of days and not sure when I can play.

I have never once called QB Wrap though. Just read option. Also I am bad at making reads sometimes, especially against the 3-4.

BTW, I just mentioned this to Luke, but would all my non playoff bros be interested in the following:

A tournament featuring the bottom two teams from each division WITH the exception of the AFC West. In place of Rorschach the tournament will feature 3 teams from AFC East instead.

Everyone would be seeded based on regular season records. Winner can consider themselves the best of the rest.

I'm in. I'm going to miss the playoffs.

The only issue is that we can't really use our online rosters. I get the real life Rams. :(

Eh, I edited it because I think your original idea is better!

I suppose the thing is that 4 teams would be left out of both the playoffs and the bottom feeder tournament. I guess you, Rors, Wellie and whoever finishes second in the NFC North can have a tournament.

In Madden 14, it'd be great if there was a button the offense could use presnap to reveal the jersey numbers or names of the defenders.

It seems like such a simple and helpful thing. It'd make identifying guys who sub in for blitzes easier, all kinds of things.

This game makes me so sad every year.

It's new year's eve on the east coast!

I'm in houston right now, will be driving back to dc this weekend, it was a struggle to get time to play ez as it was. This is my every two year "vacation" road trip to take my kids to visit family. Not really sure what I can do. I'll be in atlanta sunday night but that's the dallas/redskins game even if I could get an internet connection.

If you're really set on advancing new year's eve then I'm probably screwed. Oh well, I'm a z-tier player anyway like you said, hopefully wellie makes it in.

You're Gentleman's Tier, not Z tier and if you're playing with playoff implications we should figure something out

I can try to play early tomorrow, like by 10am central start. Then I might have a window from like 3 to 4 pm central start time. But I really can't gaurantee either at this point. Otherwise I'm down until after 1 am or so eastern on new year's morning. We get back home new year's eve but are going straight to a party for an appearrance.

Can I use the Raiders? Rors is gifting them to me anyway because he can't win a match in street fighter agianst me

The Raiders are won in Marvel.

It used to be that way. :\ You also used to be able to see which defender the player was controlling. They take things out so they can bring them back later as features, but this isn't even worth a bullet point on the press release. Why would they do that? Probably just because they hate us and their jobs.

I didn't say I won them! Don't do that to me, it's not fair. Marvel just don't make any sense to me. There's no time to think. It's just a constant barrage of hits. I feel so confused and then I just start mashing all the buttons on the fight stick hoping something will happen. Nothing ever happens!
