Hi.
Every season I pick an area to try and discover the magic under the bonnet of MFN. This season Im looking at the FB and especially the FB-RB relationship. (you'll see why later!)
The FB has lots of roles but, (i thought) the classic activity would be the clearing the first second level blocker for the RB. However I am finding that hard to manage - I see it as a three part equation - (1) the play (2) The key players, and ofcourse (3) the defence (and the rng!).
Essentially the problem I seem to have is finding both the right plays, and the perhaps the right combination of players (the O Line is good btw) - espcially in speed and acceleration - I lost a star RB who retired early (!) and now I have sp(88) ac(84) FB and am working with a sp(41) ac (47) RB.
First suspicion - if the RB and FB are so mismatched in sp/acc - do they lose cohesion in the play? It feels like the FB is making the hole and the RB is too far behind and tends to wander off (presumably akin to that whole Red Sea debacle..... )
So I will continue to experiment with players and plays - but I'm pretty inexperienced (season 3) so any insights would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers. Mutts.
