You want johnson at le not re. I would not start trevor pryce at le in the 4-4 or 4-3. I would have him as the #2 dt and have gregg/cody as the backups. I would then put one of their olbs at re so you have more speed.

For the 4-4 you would want to sub in landry at lolb and that would allow you to put kindle at re.

If you use the 4-4 you are not limited to the 4-4. I use the 4-3 and goaline d as well.

thanks man that was helpful, i'll try that now

would it make more sense ellerbe or barnes at lolb considering they're faster and have a better tackle rating

bad pursuit too

Possibly but in the 4-4 when you audible to goaline d the lolb is the deep safety. If Tom Zbikowski is a SS then you would want him in over Landry. In run support you would want one of the lbs.

For the Cowboys my depth chart goes like this
le A Spencer
dt J Ratliff
dt Igor Olshansky
re B Williams

lolb Octavian - sub in sensenbaugh
mlb1 D Ware
mlb2 J Williams
rolb B James

cb1 Jenkins
cb2 Newman
fs Watkins

Note that I put in B James who is slower than a few options but will make plays b/c of his awareness and block shred. Also you want you best cb at cb2 and 2nd best at cb1

I wouldn't use the 4-4 anymore. Double A-gap blitzing isn't as effective. I would suggest Dime & 3-4.

wangtang i'm not a new madden player but i'm not very experienced. if you could give me a hand i kind of need help putting together a defensive scheme for that, and would you recommend the cowboys or ravens, or anyone else

ok, i can't ask you to do that but how does this setup look to you two for dime/PIT 3-4
