Pass blocking In EF??

Hey guys, I just wanted to know the best way to effectively pass block in one stop electric football? Since in real life, pass blocking consists of the offensive lineman backing up to form a pocket for the qb, would you set your bases to run backwards or turn in circles, although they would get pushed around the defensive lineman? Just wanted to know you guys' thoughts on this!

Take care,
Kevin

I don't have a problem with down linemen getting to my QB on a pass...

I've never been sacked by anybody other than a looper...

Sometimes I have a slot back... and at other times.. (Wolf had a looper that was an animal in Tornado Alley season 1)... He always came from one side with it.. SO.. I even used an ITZ dial to disguise a WR who was there just to get that looper.

Geno has a looper that is so fast, along with being so strong... I'm not sure what I'd do against it..

Depends on what's happening. I have been known to drop my tackles back to shield the qb. You can use slot guys like Bill said, or running backs.

I also like to use two te's. that gives the qb a little more time because the loopers have a little farther to travel.

also you can attack the spot where the looper came from. if you are successful, he'll have to stay home or use somebody else to seal that hole, which opens another hole somewhere else.

hey guys, in the next addition of the TWEAK, I will break down some of the ways to effectively block and/or redirect loopers; why they are feared; what to do if there are more than 2 coming on a play, etc.

forming a pocket is cool if you can get away with it..... ITZ are very good, but be careful of the angles and speed must be factored in...

Oh, but their is much more to it............

and in the same report, how to find loopers that are effective, attacking points; being effective from 5 yds back; how to use a zone blitz and more........

if you have not signed up to be a MFCA member, now is the time to do so

For my teams, I employ 3 different O-Lines in a game. One line is used strictly for run blocking. These are all 3-pt. line with strong rookie-type bases. Another line is the versatile line which look to be in a pass blocking mode but have Munro dials. The 3rd line is usually the prongless pass blockers which will be pushed back to form the perfect pass blocking wall and allow receivers to get down field into space.

In the DFW League, we have a wide range of offensive schemes empolyed by different coaches. For me, I mostly look at types of schemes which win in this league. Many people look at the schemes that I employ with my Cowboys team. Some people call my schemes "West Coast Offense" systems.

It must be a pretty effective scheme because we have been pretty successful over the years in the DFW League. So with that being said, I am one who try to reference all the things that I do. One of the things that I have done is catalog the more than 100 plays I run during the course of a season.

These are plays that have helped me to create a winning tradition in the DFW League. I am now in the process of creating a DVD based on many of the techniques and plays that are so important for me to compete in the Shootout Rule set. As an expert of FF.COM athletes and their functionality, I can buck many of the myths about FF.COM v. any other figure by just watching the DVD. For the past 10 years almost, I can show how the functionality of the player is very important in running certain schemes.

So hopefully, one day in the very near future, when I get some of these orders out, I will make this DVD available so that you can see things about pass protection and blocking, run blocking and players which are crucial to the success of the run, as well as other things.

Uncle Reggie,

I like the West Coast Offensive system. It is great for MF in it's many ways to attack a defense. I use a lot of it in my play-calling, too.

Although it sounds 'unwise' to have you O-line on prongless bases, I have seen where this could work. However, some quick-strong DL will make you pay for that if they smell it out.

That why we love this hobby so much, the many variations of simple principles that can be effective and if you are willing to try some of them out, your game play will be enhanced....

By the way, when are going to get back to posting some pictures on THIS Site?????

K-LO:p

Thanks for all the help guys! I guess I'll have to try out the prongless bases, but wouldn't they get pushed around TOO much?

Thanks again,
Kevin

I really don't have anything to add but this is an excellent topic!

I have never had any trouble with my pass blocking.
The suction cups work on metal or wood fields. I do have to bring in the TE's to block the loopers but NOBODY pushes my line!!

Is something that is disguised by being a regular TTC base. As long as the other team does not know what you have, it can be done. However, you have to have the right type of blockers with range.

In the DFW League, a great offensive line can usually hold the D-Line at bay for 2-3 seconds. Once this is done, things begin to break down.

What will happen with the prongless base is that the DL will push the players back into the QB to form a pocket. Some worry on the OLB making that push around end. Well, that's why you have backs to chip. And in some instances, you want the backs not to chip and instead flair out because there is usually open space out on the flanks. Then, the OLBs will have to stop the hard rush and place a premium on covering flair passes.

We do this all the time. I can only speak from the Shootout Rules perspective because things can be disguised so well in this type of play. Trust me, I know this works because I run this in my offensive schemes. Other coaches have not caught up to defensing the West Coast Offense and Prongless Base lines because with how the clocks are set up, the intensity of time is a factor to cover everything.

If I get some time, I will try to show you the prongless line and how it operates. The key is that the QB must be anywhere from 8-15 yards behind the line of scrimmage. If he's 8, you can throw short. If it's 15, you can probably get more separation between the man and defender.

One important thing in what we do. If a man is engaged, you can still throw to that man. So even if the D is getting pressure on the QB and I stop the board (even if the receiver is engaged), I can still throw to that man. The biggest problem is that only one good thing can happen (a reception) and 2 bad things can happen (interception or incomplete).

The prongless line, however, gives you an opportunity to get men upfield past the defenders because we all know, in miniature football, most guys run the defense straight towards the line, including the linebackers. The reason being is that for many, the forward pass is non-existent. For me, I welcome 7-8 in the box rushing straight upfield at me. You can set up screen passes, flairs, and post patterns more effectively. Trust me, there is so much that can be done.
