Stopping goalline

All my old setups aren’t working anymore and I can’t figure out why 😂

Literally just playing dudes that run 49 times with alternating abilities 🤣

You can get goal line stuff on all you're backup DT, but even with the best Defensive line in the game, you probably won't be able to stop all these unfair X-Factor running backs.

It’s not about abilities it’s about setup. Secure and supreme put those abilities on lock. I’m not worried About The abilities I’m worried about the fact I can’t shoot behind pulling guards and LB’s get pancaked now if you just let them flow normally

Just looking for a Gap shoot I might not know about

I swear I hate people who play like that. I would feel guilty if I had to run the ball every single play. I know if it was that simple then everyone would be running every game and getting their 3 yards each play but damn is it absolutely rage inducing and beyond annoying. Does guess run not work? I know its very risky but they should make it to where guessing run should work most of the time since your taking a huge risk in doing so.

Been struggling with the same thing until recently.  

First... it goes without saying that you need to redesign your team and abilities around run stopping.  I run a 50/50 Ravens TT with 9/9 TT Remix boosts but was able to stack my defense so that every player on the field now has Tackle Supreme or Secure Tackler.  If you can't stop the run, these guys will just keep pounding the rock.

This is what I've come up with as the best answer to guys running Goal Line offense all game:

3-4 Odd Cover 4 Show 2... Pinch LBs... Blitz All LBs... Contain... and Slant DL Inside. User your Weak Side Safety and bring him down between your two MLBs about 2 yards behind them (also put him on a Blitz). Now most opponents are gonna try the FB Dive or the HB Power. Your read key is the FB... if he is going forward at the snap then it's the FB Dive (that's what you should assume is coming) and if you rush in immediately you can hitstick the FB in the backfield. If it's the Power... the FB will jet quickly to the strong side and as soon as you see this you loop around (kinda in a circle) to that side and you can dive tackle and hit the HB in the backfield. If you whiff then you'll give up some chunck yards but if you hit him with your dive then it doesn;t matter if it's an AKA back or Faalele... they're going down. Anyways... that's what I've been using today with some success.

I've had some opponents pass after I've stopped them a few times.  They can send a streak right at the spot where your Weak Side Safety has vacated.  So if they hit me with that then I start mixing in different shells... Cover 3, Cover 2, etc... but the same basic setup and idea.

If anyone else has other ideas to counter this scummy offensive style... I'm willing to test things out.
