Hey, I am about to start an online dynasty as GT (because I'm about to go to grad school there), and I was wondering if any of you had any advice or strategies for using a Flexbone offense. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Use it, because it is a mamouth of a running playbook. I am going to use it in our OD and I am running with bama. Just a lot of things that you can do out of the flex

the flexbone can be a good offense if run correctly. just hope that you're never down by 21 late in the 4th with it.

do they make it harder to pass if your are running the flexbone? what if you put a traditional qb in there to replace your flexbone qb? i'm beginning to wonder if this is going to be the bs playbook of choice when playing people online.

I'm currently 2-2 with this playbook. All games I've used it with were very very tight games. One I had a chance to tie it with a 2pt converison, but I pull a Smokey and let the clock run out :banghead2::fool:

Yes BearCat I did it again.....

I played it online for the first time last night. I went up 14-0, but he came back. I ended up losing off of a last second FG 24-21. Good game, and I think I like the offense. I just need to learn to pitch more than I do on options. How often do you guys pass when using the fb?

The option pass works much better this year than before. You actually have time to PA the option and drop back for the pass.

I've only played with GT once and I didn't like the flexbone at first but I'm pretty sure it can be unstopable if ran correctly..... Which I dnt know how to do lol so all I can say is practice practice practice. Find some plays u like and always switch it up. Keep the d guessing. Good luck

Yeah, when I was running it at the beginning, he couldn't do anything to stop me. However, he started putting more people in the box and blitzing which caused me some problems. I didnt have alot of time on triple options to get outside the tackles with my qb, and pitching takes a second or two after the button press. I guess I just need to practice more.

Theres a few pa plays that look like an option or a regular run play but when u press the A button it will bring up the passing option and if you do this at the right time in the game there will almost always be a WR wide open.... just something to try

I'm taking a liking on the Florida playbook now. I still like GT playbook but it needs a little more shotgun IMO.

Ok, awesome. thanks for the help. I do know that when I started giving the hand-off on the tripop, i could break of 7-9 yards a carry for a few plays. I guess the biggest advantages of the fb is variety and confusion.

Just a little update. I played another few games with similar results. I did well starting out, but after a while, I couldn't seem to get anything going. My runs up the middle were getting stuffed and my options to the outside were getting snuffed out. I don't think the pitch button is as responsive as I would like, so I'm not pitching as much as I should. Oh well, here's to more practice.

It's probably that you are too predictable. You need to find a wrinkle or two to mix in.
