4-4 setup for the steelers

(edited steelers setup)


MLB: Timmons, Farrior



OLB: Polamalu, Carter


DE: Woodly, Harrison



DT: Hampton, Smith



CB: Taylor,Lewis



SS: Clark

Ewww.. I really don't like that setup. It's not because the fact that you have Polamalu at LB.. it's the fact that you have Woodley not as a LB... and that you have Timmons/Harrison both at MLB.. If anything, you should definitely switch Harrison or Timmons for Farrior.. you NEVER want a 75 speed guy in coverage.. you have an 83 speed guy which is a huge difference on the line.

You will want to switch Farrior with either Timmons or Harrison because if you A-Gap blitz.. only one LB is going to get to the QB.. the other LB is a space eater.. he just takes up a block.. he never uses his speed.. when he has 85 speed, you are putting the guy to waste..

Since you are comfortable with having Keisel at DE, you should put Patrick Bailey on the line on the opposite side.. just because of his 77 speed.. his speed will definitely matter.
I don't like the fact that Farrior is not able to go on the line, but he can sit as a backup.. His overall may be good, but there's so much that goes into OVR that don't matter.. Awareness... if you user this player.. awareness doesn't matter.. awareness doesn't matter either way.. it's just a stat that does not work.. but A LOT of points to overall are from it..



I would rather do this:

MLB: Harrison / Woodley (if you prefer Farrior, you can have him here, but he's definitely not a good person to have in coverage)
OLB: Polamalu / Timmons

DE: Bailey / Keisel (If there is a faster DE/LB, you want him here)

Well i do this because i pretty much always drop my DE's into coverage. And the reason i like farrior being on is because he is pretty much a sure tackle, this setup might not be best for everyone, but is for my 4-4 scheme =]. (And for the majority of the game i do have baily in for keisel because of his speed)

Alright, but if you do the double a-gap blitz, I was just recommending the best way to set that up. You do not want your two fastest LBs in the middle if you are A-gap blitzing a lot.. that just wastes one LBs speed. You can do what you want though.. and yep he's a sure tackler.. that definitely helps.

yea i will change that cause usually when i A gap blitz i have them lined up evenly, but it probobly would be more beneficial to line farrior up closer to have him take up the center and put one of the faster guys on the outside. thanks wang
