21 personnel

Hunter and Deuce are the cheat code

Would like to see some creativity with 21 personnel. Sometimes with Blue and Mafa in the backfield and sometimes with Blue and Turpin in the backfield. Can motion both Blue and Turpin into receivers against a run box OR motion blue out and run Mafa into a more spread D. This is based on many years of coaching experience on Madden pre 2012.

Less than 50/50 Mafah makes the 53

He might not be a good pro. But we already know sanders and williams are washed. I think he has a better shot than them.

If we can actually run the ball effectively on early downs and in the RZ— there will be plenty of ways to hurt teams in a variety of personnel packages.

But if they don’t fear your running game— then it won’t matter who you motion out of the backfield or line up in the slot or whatever lol…

For my money, I like us in 12 personnel a bit better. Lamb and Pickens at WR, Ferg and your best blocking TE on the field, and Blue at RB. You can max protect if you need to, and you can pass easily with guys that can hurt you at every level, or you can maul people in the running game with speed at RB to make house calls. Not an easy personnel package to defend

I prefer that we use the fullback instead of the second tight end. I like the lead blocker coming out of the backfield, plus he can be handed the ball on dives and is a good receiver. Martyball called for the use of a fullback, so if No-Schott wants to emulate his dad, we might see more of it. I've always believed fullbacks block differently than tight ends. They are usually built lower to the ground and can better root out linebackers in the hole.

Yep, I think it's Williams, Blue, Mafah, and Luepke. Sanders to practice squad or another team.

We will get bootleg with Dak throwing to Schoon on the first play in Philly.

Lol lol lol lol for a 4 yard gain meanwhile they get the ball on their first play and go for 16

I love a full back in the backfield, especially one that can go out and catch passes. Butch Johnson.

Yes this offense is deep and versatile. They need to use it to our advantage!

I can already see a play where CDL is outside on a slant, Pickens outside on a go, Turpin in the slot on a slugo under CDL, Blue in the back field splits out wide and runs a wheel behind Pickens and either Williams or Mafa in the backfield on an inside carry or block and release underneath.
That is going to create a ton of pressure on defenses to try and figure out where the ball is going.

Mafa is not making this team. He is mediocre as a college back. He cannot compete with the big boys.
