AutumnWind vs GRUNT

OFFENSE

AW is a smart tough player. Ken Stabler has mobility and a strong arm and Biletnikoff is a beast on the outside. My goal was to avoid the big play with Barry but AW was able to get big plays from his generic running back and his bronze wide receiver. He was able to run really effective with his generic running back by pulling guards and setting up his blocks really well.

AW moved Biletnikoff around pretty well to keep me honest but mostly Biletnikoff was on the right side of the formation. Stabler continue a few drives with his scrambling ability. He also ran Biletnikoff in a twin formation which I found difficult to defend.

The drops by his receivers really hurt him in this game. Biletnikoff ran a post corner/corner route and he bobbled and dropped the ball. A really big play in he game. AW was in the game until the last minutes in the game.

DEFENSE

AW runs a press cover 2 man defense. He ran some zones but I think his personnel strengths lead to move press man coverage. There was one manual blitz that I should have picked up but I failed and took a big sack.

Anytime I see anyone controlling a player in the box I am going to try to account for the player to attack the pocket.

SPECIAL TEAMS

I think he used Tatum to run back kicks.

SUMMARY

AW is a really smart sim player and expect tough games.
