Coach Shawn

In this case I would keep my loopers going in for the QB and have my LB’s slant out to cover the flats. This leaves your center a little exposed though. You could also have your loopers go after the RB’s instead but this will allow your opponent more time to choose his moment to stop the field. sometimes I have my CBs turned to drop back deep and have my safeties turned to move toward the line. Practice this so your safeties hit the LOS about the time the RBs fo on a sweep.

Are you stick passing? Also what are your pivoting rules? I use stick passing and so My advice is based on that. For stick passing against a fast team I make sure l have two good loopers to force the coach to keep some of his attention on the blitz. Also this should limit his time to run the board and hopefully stop him from moving his receivers to the gaps. I bump his top receiver at the line but all the rest I play zone. My goal is to put defenders into each area of the field, anticipating where his men will go.

Congratulations on what clearly has been a rewarding journey through Electric Football!!

Yes. I slowly deduce these things. I realized I should just list them in order rather than use the column. for strength I just test them within their own team to see where they rank on that team. Strongest player is listed as 1, and so on. I have slways intended to set up a standard test that applies a universal rate for strength. That way I could see the rate for the Lions Center and compare it to the Steelers Nose Guard snd see who is stronger. My current method only tells me that the Lion’s Center is the strongest player on his team but doesn’t tell me how his strength compares to the Steelers Nose guard .

Thanks for the complements on the video. If you want to see the whole game here is the link;

It makes a great gift for an EF coach!

My favorites; when I got back into the hobby and setup to play my first official season game in years, the Vikings took the opening kick off 100 yards! What a cool way to start my new league! Then back in Treasure Bowl IV my opponent was at my 35 yd line, threatening to score on the last play of the first half. I decided to leave his center uncovered so he would move out and open a hole for my MLB to shoot thru and sack the QB. It worked perfectly!!! See the end of the video below.

Great story. I love when EF players do this…looks like they are going out of bounds but somehow just keep sliding down field !!

Yes you are correct. Although not sure what degrees the angles come out to . #82 Dante Hall is my fastest and best receiver. Gronkowski is #87 and he is a star as well. He is strong and fast. I trust him with blocking and receiving. #33 and #10 Were performing unreliably at the time I made the card so I put a pause on coding them. Haven’t got back to them yet. The receivers and RB’s are listed in order of speed (even though I do have a spd column on the sheet).

In competition I wear a QB play calling wrist band, but mine shows all the path codes for my players. My younger opponents laugh but, hey, my memory is terrible. They remember how all their guys move plus they remember mine as well.

My receivers, RBs, Safeties, LB’s and Cornerbacks have their run paths “coded” according to the diagram. I use the White Stick w/Pressure distance as my base. I find the vast majority will be coded either LFL or RFR for White Stick w/ pressure distance. My competition team has all of those codes but they are coded for each direction of approach and each stick distance as well. So they have a code for approaching the ball marker from the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions. Yes the players paths often change depending upon the direction they are going.

Yes. I can’t turn offense, other than the receiver, so I just hoped he would make the block.

Aliens gained 14 yards on this play. I had made a nice video of this play showing my step by step process for determining the play and set up. But it was too large so I just did it in bits with out the step by step.

3rd Qtr the Moonsharks lead 14 to 7. The aliens need this first down. The primary receiver is the slot receiver at the bottom of the screen. IMG_3076.MOV

The Moonsharks score again on a long run. IMG_3062.MOV

Even though I limit my solitaire league size I often play one off games with my non-affiliated teams. I still have teams I plan to make and this is my short list: 1. My HS team 2. SB 57 Chiefs 3: iowa blades (pro fantasy team) 4. Dayton triangles (modernized) 5. Rock Island Independents (modernized) 6. SB 3 Jets

Yes. Years ago My son, at a young age, created and painted the Aliens as a gift for me. I have thought about upping their appearance but then I always decide to keep the gift as is.

Pro football reference site lists Largent having 8 returns for a total of 68 yds.

SSEFL Aliens vs Moonsharks. After the quick Alien score the Moonsharks struggled but broke a long run down to the Alien 13 yard line. They then tried another run and lost 8 yards. The next play, Dropping into shotgun, the Moonsharks QB decides the primary receiver is covered and instead throws to a secondary receiver. It measures as a white stick but there is pressure and since he is passing to a secondary receiver it gets bumped up to a blue stick with pressure. Had I aimed the Alien safety better he would have got the interception. IMG_3045.MOV

Yes. The Moonsharks are one of the better SSEFL teams.

Yes! Very well done displays. I bet this will be one of the most popular displays they have ever had.

The Aliens have been perennial basement dwellers in the SSEFL. This year they are hoping that all those extra draft bases will payoff. First play was a run off tackle for 5 yds. Play two was a pass and here is the video. IMG_3042.MOV

I got several but converted them to fantasy pro teams.
