Against my opponents, I have been able to guess correctly what they were going to do, it seems as guessing correctly run/pass is helpful but the effectiveness is very minimal even in games with equal talented teams.
I have a few questions for you gurus. How do you defend if the teams are even and you know the following :
1) Opponent only runs NDB formation and every single run is outside?
2) Opponent never throws to TE, WR and only to HB/FB out of NDB?
Since you know that he is blocking with more guys, do you play coverage, or do you send in more pressure, and do you blitz with LB's or DB's? It would make logical sense to blitz with the DBs, but this hasn't seem to really matter, I see equal effectiveness between a DB or a LB.
3) If the opponent only throws to the HB/FB, is there a way to get the DBs to cover the RB or FB by sending more players, for instance a 4-4 that sends 7, 2 extra on the line (LB1,LB2) and a blitz from another LB(LB3), this would leave only LB4 and SS, CB1/CB2 for coverage options. Is this strategy viable?
