When i mentioned the numbers 1-4 indicates the qb MUST THROW IT THAT RECEIVER. That is the dice telling you that was the decision he made and not you. No matter where the defenders are, the dice triggered him to try that pass. it can result in a great completion or a interception. THE DICE SAID THROW IT.
How easy would it be to say, " there are too may defenders near that 1 wr so i will throw it somewhere else " . THAT'S YOU MAKING THE DECISION TO CHANGE. The 1-4 on the dice told you the qb already made up his mind.
1)your the coach.
2)A certain number on the dice sends in the play.
3)another set of numbers, acts as the players brains and contols there actions.
4)all you can do is follow those actions and sit back like any other coach and hope the players execute.

So ... a question. What do you do if the dice calls you to throw to a receiver who is:

A) Engaged by a defender
B) Out of bounds
C) Behind the quarterback, such that a pass would actually be a lateral, and therefore a run
D) Out the back of the end zone

Not asking for giggles. I'm just curious how you handle that. In the next post, I'll detail the passing system I use so that people can see the different ideas that we all use - which will be in play in our co-op solitaire league this spring.
