So...we've had a couple of complaints recently about OUTSIDE RUNS and LACK OF BLITZING.
First off Lack of Blitzing.
If you're not blitzing in this game, you're missing the boat...because blitzing (bring 6 especially) is a GREAT DEFENSE TO PLAY. It is very realistic in which the QB needs to recognize it right away and get it to a hot read.
--work on mixing up those defensive playcalls.
--OF COURSE your defense can have an "Identity." If you're identity is to blitz a lot, GREAT...if it is more of a safe defense, GREAT. BUT even with those identities, a HEALTHY BALANCE IS NEEDED.
Now as far as the OUTSIDE RUNS are concerned....If you are playing a good defense and you're trying to run it outside every play...YOU'RE GONNA GET KILLED.
--Having said that though YOU MUST STILL HAVE A BALANCE RUN ATTACK. Do NOT call more than 1 run play a couple times per game.
For instance....if you're calling the STRETCH play more than 5 times in a game...there is something wrong with your playcalling.
....and that includes different formations. Just because you're switching up formations and STILL calling the stretch, doesn't mean its a different run play.
EXPAND YOUR GAME CONTINUALLY, EVERY GAME.
Balanced Play Calling, please read

I hope the complaints come from people with trained eyes, because if i run an even amount to the left, middle, and right, then I'm only running 33% to the middle, and would be considered an outside runner.
I also just played a guy, who is a beautiful runner of the ball, even his runs through the gaps he would sometimes bounce to the outside giving the illusion of a repetitious runner, I could see him getting complaints, but it would be unjustly so.

for sure....
....here's the beauty tho...even if guys are doing a better job at it then certain people think...a message like this can only HELP make it better, not worse. With just a little more awareness hopefully the next time you boot up.
Lets face it though, I have noticed a lot of running to the outside. EVERYBODY loves to do it....this is just a healthy reminder to mix in some "inside the tackle" runs....and actually RUN IT inside when it's presented open.

....good point though...its always necessary to realize WHO the complaints are coming from.
