How do you stop this offense? Receivers are always wide open. Literally the only thing that beats me. Annoying as fuck
pray to allah for a speed boost 😂

It's a bit nutty for sure. Manning up the receiver or setting up say, cover 2 with hard flats or whatever may work...or they may just get blocked by whoever is next to the receiver. I'm kind of annoyed by this one too honestly.
Usually my strategy is to set up my defense to stop the pass, which allows me to worry about the run with my user. If you tell me the specific RPO, odds are it's a popular one and I have a defense for it. I'll tell you how I stop it.

For 2 games in a row, my opponents probably used every RPO in the game every single play. Jumping and running with Vick and Harris too which is a complete joke.

There are a ton of RPOs. Which formation? Which plays?

Don't remember off the top of my head but RPO Â Zone Alert was one of them. RPO Read Bubble. And Double Stack formation was a problem too and that formation has RPO Read FL screen and a few other ones. Another thing he would do is come out in RPO and i guess audible to the Verticals in that formation. i'm usually good at adjusting to my opponent but i can't user both sides of the field
Here's my advice for one of the ones you mentioned. It's RPO Alert Screen in the Gun Bunch Str Offset in Jets, Packers, and Bears playbooks:
When I was in Jets, I ran this play a lot, and it's one of my favorites. The simplest way to slow it down is Cover 1. Manning up the outside WR on the bubble with a defender that has no run fit assignment will cover it pretty well. Then you can user the run and shoot the gap if you know how. It has the added benefit of being a pretty decent option vs. Verticals too.
This video has some helpful tips too against RPOs. Good luck!

Out of curiosity, which playbooks do you run now?
Thanks Rocketz!
It’s easier for your cpu to stop the run. I put the defense option on focus on QB. I move my line back to the outside so he thinks I’m playing the run and switch to the cornerback right before the snap and try and jump the route. Usually my best bet. I worry about the QB running more than the rb. playing contain or crash outside usually helps give better outside run coverage too
