TWIM 23 Mailbag!

Boom, its that time again.

We will also be looking to do a team breakdown this show as well.

You guys have been great at showing how to get heat from all the different gaps. Supposing you know where the heat's coming from, what's the best way from the offense's perspective to stop it, for each of the different gaps?

Oooooooo man this great lea! Fact or fiction segment I'm thinking!

ok Z and Gibs....get the monkey off your backs and breakdown the Baltimore Ravens....lol!

Do a breakdown of the Denver Broncos! I love my team =)

What is the exact rule on the QB Sneak in Madden Challenge tourneys?
Can you tell me if the play Singleback - Double Pats - Slot Screen, in the NE playbook is legal?

Snap the ball, and rush forward.

who do you think the best madden player of all time is, like moss 09 chris johnson of 2010 or vick 04 maybe even champ baily of 08. but from the madden games you guys have experienced what do you think the best top 5 players of all time are??

Are you guys going to finish the UC scheme you were toyed with from the I form? And I take it you guys have new neighbors bc Farlz was going AWOL during the game of the week

We didnt get the phone call this week! I may or may not have paid off the police in the town to extend quiet hours until 11? Mabye the showed up and I fed them buffalo chicken calzones? secrets...

All great questions so far.

Do the offensive lineman ratings help prevent penetration from the blitzing defense?

Example: Does the Pats line prevent pressure from getting in longer than the lions O line?

I sent that question in last week (not sure why it didnt show general, its one I wanted to get to as well) will put it in again!

That will be a great great GREAT Fact or Fiction.

Id like a Break Down of the Bears. Their an interesting team to use and I hardly ever see people using them online. You can't really RC with them so its a pound it out kinda team but they have speedy guys at Wr.

Cutler's throws go everywhere > < and it can get annoying while using my boy.


Also another Q:

How to best utilize speed receivers (ie: Hester& Teddy Ginn) who's catching ratings might not be amazing.

How do you use the Strafe(LT) button on defense to make user picks more often?


Thanks,

How about a breakdown of the Steelers?

Hey thanx farls no problem. I don't mind wating. Itz just something I really want to know.

You showed how to stop Off-Tackle with a 4-4 setup...any advice for 3-4 base books, such as NYJ and BAL?

does holding turbo right away ensure more yards or does hitting turbo through the whole help to get more yards when running the ball

Hey how do you make you own schemes im trying to make one out of the colts playbook right now? Some help???

the rule for MLG events is that your quarterback must take 2 steps away from the line of scrimmage before moving toward the line of scrimmage.

are there any RC opportunities running with the eagles? or can you pretty much count out rocket catching with them?

as an eagles user, I would recommend sticking with their strengths...short horizontal passing, HB/FB activity, WCO style. if you want to RC, you should just try another team imo. even if you can kind of do it with Cornelius Ingram, it's probably less effective than utilizing their strengths.

what's you guys take on using fast CBs on the offensive side of the ball as WRs to assist a slow receiving core? i have played many people that do this online.

I don't have a problem with it I have done it myself. When I used the Falcons I used Tye Hill (97 speed) as my slot wr/man killer/screen guy. I've used others in that role with different teams like using DR Cromartie with the cards etc. but my favorite cb to use in that role is by far the Bolts Cromartie he is a beast. People say it's cheese and blah blah but those are the same people that had the fb dive a screen and 4 curls offenses last year and run off tackle every play this year. hey I run overly effective plays myself so i'm no better but you also don't see me being hypocritical either like people that bash using a cb at wr.

p.s. I'd love to see a run stopper covered from the 46 book guys (not even neccessarily the 46 formation just a run stopper from any formation in that book) think you could get to it? You guys have touched on a lot of other d books I'm surprised 46 hasn't been mentioned much. Thanks...

My feeddback... Love the show, watch it every week, but I don't usually catch it live. I get it a day or two after. Is there anyway you acn bring back the tags for the certain sections? Like how you did with the off tackle last week... Like an index.

I think it's stupid. I prefer to play people with exact MLG or EAFL rules. Like WR/TE only in WR or TE positions.. LB/DE/DT can only be DE/LB/DT

I use to put Champ Bailey on offense when I use the New Orleans playbook for the Jet Sweep. I was new to the game. I did that the first 2 weeks I bought the game. Recently I used to put SS at LB, but since you can't in tournaments I do not do it. I play in the EAFL Aus and what I do is play with the team I use in the league so I can get accustomed to the team and now if X person will catch this or if he can make a tackle as the last defender.
